Slender Stalk - Issue 32

My “hero banner” was a bit of a challenge this month. I first opted for a modified.pallet of pastel versions of red-white-blue, which just wouldn’t work. So I found this image of a hat and added my faux stitching. Not the greatest, and certainly a departure from the slender stalk of a flower theme, but still nice for the holiday, I think. I liked it more when I made it. Now it just seems weird because the brim of the hat is out of frame. Oh, the things I fret over. I love pushing pixels and trying to honor my poems with a pretty presentation. Not my best effort, but I like the poems.
