Finding Inspiration and Needing Assistance with Canoe Quilt

Yes, I am a day late with my blog. This week has been really busy and my art day was taken up with activities that were not all art related but necessary and enjoyable. One of those activities was a short hike in a nearby Conservation Area. When the weather is nice, I've learned, we have to take advantage of it. All the more because winter is on it's way and we tend to spend less time out of doors when its cold and snowy.

Since I hadn't done much art yesterday, I decided to take my camera along and shoot some inspiration shots of fall colours beginning and the transition of plants to their winter looks.

I also have been procrastinating on my art quilt because I'm struggling with the mist. Below are two photos of the quilt. The first has several layers of organza in the area of the mist and the second has one layer of organza and one layer of some lace I found in my stash. I'm wondering is less is more or if more is more. Could you let me know which one looks the most like mist rising from the water? Or if it doesn't at all let me know that too and I'll go back to the drawing board.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, everyone!
