It's both technically and aesthetically challenging--which is what makes it fun.

Oh there is definitely an end, a very precipitous end! But thanks and so glad you like these.

Very skillful photo splicing. May I ask what software you used?

I store, sort and process the photos with Lightroom and then do pixel-level processing [if any] on Photoshop, where the actual assembly takes place. As may be imagined, it is a combination of "art" and guesswork to make the quilts aesthetically coherent and quite a lot of technical fiddling and splicing to make it all fit.

Thanks. The koi were in my pond. I still have many rather dull brown touched with gold ones, but the really beautiful big ones are gone--heron? bear? other?
