This is what it looked like outside today, but I felt like this:
I had so much fun in my studio.
My first item of business was to make a screen for the glue to add foil to the dome. This is the best way to foil, using a stencil or some other method to manage the glue. I wanted to just do some highlights. Here is the screen and the glue test on muslin.
Here is the dome photo after I trimmed it and glued it to felt batting.
Here is the test foil:
Looks good to me. Here is the real deal. You can see that I have started quilting the wall.
I finished the Bet Sha’an ruins piece. I decided that I did not want to sandwich it with batting so I painted some canvas for the background.
Here is the piece finished: stitched to the canvas with some thread painting.

Oooooh, Gerrie, This looks really really good.
Boy, it’s a good thing you didn’t lose power during all of the bad weather: you were so productive!
Everything looks great!

The foil is a perfect addition! The Bet Sha’an ruins piece looks great on the canvas.
I really like the foil on the dome too. Very nice.
Oh yeah!
You really have made good use of your snow day! The foil on the dome really takes the piece to a new level – wonderful. Now, can you do something about this weather?! Stay warm.
You’ve been productive! I wasn’t sure about the gilt dome at first, but it definitely works now. Really nice dimensionality on the ruins piece.
The foil on the dome is simply perfection. Great job.
