UNHINGED!!

This is the second piece in a round robin I'm participating in which is focusing on texture - both visual and literal.   This is my response to a sweet piece by Connie Tiegel with a welcoming gate.   Being something of a contrarian, I jumped right in by rusting heavy Pellon for the gate, stitching it to a shiboried background, then creating the atmosphere with all kinds of wonderful layers of semitransparent fabrics, stringy stuff and scads of beads.  In spite of the few embroidered flowers, this garden may not be quite as welcoming!
