I started with a piece each of green and blue felt and blended them together with my Janome Xpression. I then added bits and pieces of organza, strips of tulle, wool fibers and eyelash yarn which I covered with another piece of tulle and felted these together. I then added the feather stitching and the little fish beads.
Although it is hard to see, I really like the way the background blended together. This is my first true embellished piece using the Xpression. I am going to have to start playing around with it some more.

Yes, the background turned out great. You get a color blend with the embellisher that's hard to get any other way. The whole piece is really nice!
This, I think Micki, is one of your best TAST pieces. I love the way you have blended the background. Were you thinking underwater before you started, or did the piece suggest it?
I think there is something in feather stitch that says underwater scene. It is beautiful and you are doing wonders with that embellisher micki.
Great background and I love those fish! Your ATCs are always so neat.
Another beautiful ATC!
it looks great Micki - isn't the embellisher wonderful for backgrounds?

It's gorgeous! Love the colors and the fish beads are the perfect touch.
Great work Micki! I love both the ground and the stitching threads on this ATC. The fish are perfect.
My favorite stitch. This is a great mini under-water scene. THe background has depth to it - very fitting!
Thank you Vicki, Elizabeth and Kay Susan for your lovely comments.
What a lovely piece Micki!
Great piece Micki. The blended background is so lovely and the stitching sets it off perfectly.

I agree I think this is the best one so far and all the others were fantastic
