    I think adding real beading is a fantastic idea maybe use crystals for the snake eyes? Glad it will be hanging at your house (couldn't come around a corner to those snakes!), but it is a striking and dramatic depiction of Medusa. I agree with Jan stay focused on creating the piece for you and any awards will be the icing on the cake!! Can't wait to see your masterpiece!

    Remember, people will see your quilts long after you are gone....NOT your housework!

    You have the picture so I would enlarge it (at Staples in color). Then place a piece of clear plastic over it and with a very fine point sharpie trace around every color change you see. When done enlarge the tracing to the desired size nd use as your applique pattern to trace and fuse pieces. Like a fabric by numbers puzzle! I do it all the time.

    Amazing idea and I am definitely going to try that. Never thought of it that way. Was just going to cut out the peices form enlargement and then number them in order they go back on. Thanks.
