These vast spaces are so beautiful to me with their colors and textures. The light and rock formations are so gorgeous, they just beg to be interpreted in fiber. Fortunately, I have a large stash of hand dyed fabric (mine and others) that is just perfect to depict these landscapes. Add some paint and lots of free-motion stitching, and voila!
