First Freeform Failure

I made my first attempt at a free-form piece, and it didn't come out as I had hoped.

I do like some elements of this piece, but for the most part it fell way short of my hopes. I drew the piece in on the red/brown chenille and the ribbon yarn, but then worked more loosly on the blue jewel, so the edges aren't straight.

I like the colors but don't like the proportions or workmanship.

Good thing there are always opportunities for second chances! I'm going to try and salvage the blue jewel yarn from this to reuse in another piece.
