Or, another idea: I've been looking at coffee tables that have a glass top with a drawer beneath. I'd put them under the glass (The glass would not be leaning on them, the drawer would be deep enough) so that you could stand at the same angle you took the first photo. Or just look at the sides. I really like the way they look laid on the table like that.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could afford to commission a set from you, that's just such a cool thing. Maybe one day. You did a great job Melody! And you know I never write suck up notes.<BR/><BR/>Quilts with fruit would never look that three dimensional. <BR/><BR/>Brava!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>RobbiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-90497764820048889132008-07-16T18:23:00.000-04:002008-07-16T18:23:00.000-04:00Fabulous!!!

On the ones that the shadow extends beyond the left side of the piece, did you continue the shadow down that side?<BR/><BR/>Guess what I am asking is for a photo of the left frame sides of the mango, nectarine, and plum, for example. If I were viewing this installation in a gallery, I'd walk to the side to satidfy my curiosity, but am asking since I won't likely get the chance to do that in person.<BR/><BR/>Cherish your time with Frieda!
