TURQUOISE TREE

This month's ATC challenge was  challenging for me.  I can never figure out when/where/why I'll be inspired.  It did prompt me to silk screen a bunch of fabric and go from there.  The background consists of  previously painted fabric  that I cast aside because the green splotches didn't appeal to me. But when I screened over it with turquoise paint, I really liked how it was looking.  Realizing that I  needed something other than the background, I screened branches of a tree and added little turquoise bead "flowers" .  I really need to work on my beading!
