I am creating this piece for our Local Arts Society to display in one of our exhibit halls.  So far, the background is all textured papers, then painted over that.  The palm tree is hand embroidered wool felt.  I haven't attached it yet, but plan to after I hand embellish the palm fronds a bit with some thread.  What else does it need?  maybe seagulls?  a beach chair beside the tree? 
Any and all critiquing is welcomed.

Thanks!!!

I think a sand dollar or a shell would look nice.

I'm thinking if u can get some iridescent blue sequins, have a mermaid propped sat up next to that palm tree and use the sequins to make her tail, it would echo that amazing blue that's in the sea x

There was a woman who felted
And felted all day long
She even felted her husband
And made him really strong Smiley

I agree Smiley I love what you've done so far!

There is also a seahorse or sea turtle. Possibly ocean waves or foot prints in the sand?

Maybe just a beach chair from behind with some feet peeking out to give it a story. Smiley

If there was a patch for ATC addiction, I would probably try to decorate it and mail it to someone.

I think keeping the details simple, perhaps all in felt, will maintain the cohesion of the piece. I like the idea of a beach chair under the tree with a little felt cocktail on the armrest, as if someone will be returning to the scene at any moment.

BTW, I looooove how you did the background! It looks downright delicious Cheesy

seagulls yes... maybe a fin coming out of the water a bit or part of the shape of a dolphin.. just shooting some ideas out there. But so far its amazing the colors are beautiful, you have combined everything beautifully, i'm sure the end result will be great!
