The Exemplary 2023:
The Muses’ Kiss (Peg Laflam Award)
1st Place, Non-Professional Non-Original with Instruction

I was attracted to this design by Ariane Zurcher because of its colorful nature and because my garden is a favorite place to pass the time. I planted a few extra “bulbs” in this project and made some subtle changes including a brighter palette and some different threads and beads. I also added a “very scary” pink spider in her web to represent the many encounters I have had while gardening!
