Need suggestions

Here is the sign hanging on the entrance to my cubicle at my current job:

Dear Aunty Em -
I hate Kansas. I hate you.
I'm leaving and taking the dog.

Dorothy

I think that says it all.

I've been working on another threadpainting. It's small and I'm not thrilled with it at this stage, but the practice is good for me. So I've posted several photos I've taken recently of the flowers in my yard, trying to decide which one/s might be most attractive threadpainted. I'm considering a series of them - since I do love making flowers in any medium.

Here's #1 - the Rhodendron (shhh, this is actually in my neighbor's yard). Nice shadows on this one.


#2 is the Wild Orchid - not too much interest here, I think. Too much same color.




#3 The Poke Berry - This is kind of neat, but a lot of the same/close colors. Could be really difficult to find threads just a tiny bit off enough to see the changes.



#4 My purple Iris - I really like this one. Interesting enough? Those striations could be really difficult...



#% - and the last one - my White Asiatic Lily from last year. This is similar to the yellow one I just did. There are no interesting shadows on this one, but the pink markings on the white are nice, some shadows on the petals, and the leaves and mulch in the background are a bit different.



So - anyone out there? Favorites? suggestions? I have some more at home I'll post later in the week.
