This piece seems very calming to me. Is it the colors? Is it the pansy? Maybe it is the total composition. It just works for me.
The pansy comes from a handkerchief that I found at a garage sale. Cutting them out proved to be a bit of a challenge. Problem solved with a combination of cutting the cloth with both scissors and a breakaway utility knife.

I agree with you, John. Very comforting, pleasing like a treasured quilt.
You have great ideas...cutting an image from a hankie.
I love your header triad even better! Sooo cool!Find me on blogspot too!
Cutting floppy material for applique in patchwork can be made easier if it is ironed onto a bonding web 'fabric'. Then you can fuse it to your background after cutting! Maybe this would work for you? cr
Ah!! Al becomes clear...i had thought the pansies were from a set of paper napkins...the fabric must be a wonderful addition in “real life” ..and i can well imagine the challenge of cutting it...great suggestion from anonymous!
Hope you are feeling better, john.
