昨日、これでよし、と思ったブロックについて、スーザンから、モスグリーンのレースモチーフが下のピースの色と相殺されて折角のレースの美しさが生きないのでは、というコメントを貰いました。確かに私は形がそこにぴったりなことに気をとられていて、そこまで考えていなかったので、非常にもっともだと思いました。でも花びらの縁に赤いビーズを散らしたらどうだろう、などと考えたりもしたのですが、今日になってやっぱり、配置を換えた方がいいかも知れないと、止めつけた糸を解いて、二枚のモチーフをこんなふうに取り替えてみました。
さて？というわけですが、あなたはどちらが好きですか？ブロックの上に重心が上がって、落ち着かないような気もしますが、クレージーの場合、それはまた下に飾りを増やしたり、重い刺繍を持ってきたりすることで調整はできるのです。でも、さて、どちらにしようかな、と思案中です。シャロンや他の人にも聞いてみようかと思います。
Have you read Susan's comments about my yesterday's block? I have tried to rearrange the motifs. What do you think? Which do you prefer yesterday's and today's? I need your help and advice.

I did not see it yesterday, but today everything seems to be very organized.
By the way, I am a fan of your work.
Your embroidery and taste is so delicate.
Best regards,
Yes, very nice. The changes are all very good. I am now working on your Christmas RR block. I love it! I have more time now that the 100 Days are finished and feel like a free woman! Free to stitch more!
Hi Hideko,
I think I like todays arrangment because the motifs are easier to see, they stand out better. The flower motif is amazing, and it needs to stand out.
Oh, yes, I like that much better. You can easily see both motifs now! Good choice. =) And you can still use red beads!
Thank you very much for all of your helps and advices. I'll consider a bit more. Sharon mentioned about Eastern and Western eyes or feel. She says the first one is very interesting and unusual, reminding some Asian scroll paintings, but harder to control, and the second one is safer and more Western. It's a very interesting discussion. Only Emiko prefers the first one. And to tell the truth, still I don't feel easy with the second because of too high center of gravity. If I could find a way to solve the color problem...
Anyway thank you very much for your interests in my block.
I like the today's arrangement better, because the ginko's flowers are more visible on the clear background, and the white embroidery like a fan, more visible on the orange and brown background...
