I absolutely love these colors, and I enjoy the needle-weaving technique. My problem is that in the back of my mind I want my art to be practical, and I can't quite see how to use this. It is about 9"x13," with raw edges; I suppose I could sew it into a larger wall hanging..... any other ideas?

This seems very different for you - but I like it. Yes, a wall hanging would suit it very well I do like the needle weaving technique. Well done!
It's beautiful. Let it be what it is.
First and foremost - it's delightful!! Love the colors and the texture so much. In answer to what to USE it for, I'd think wall-hanging, or a journal cover for a vintage ledger sized journal, a large cushion cover, OR the center of a quilting/weaving project. Any way you choose to use it, it's a wonderful piece.
I love this! The texture is delightful, and the colors are amazing!! I posted a link back to you on my blog here:

Hang it...somehow...in the center of a mirror... so pretty.
it's beautiful and the purpose of/for it was first and foremost the process~!
it's all about the process.
having said that i confess that i find that much easier to say then to do and i myself like 'useful' art. i've recently begun to make atc's and one of the reasons i decided to give them a go was because my brain said "why? what are they going to BE? i know (at least at some level) that it's not about that but i have to push myself to create beyond 'utility' and just enjoy the process.
i do like the idea of a journal cover for this colorful piece. can i ask how it was done?

@libbyquilter: thanks for your comment! I agree that it is really all about the process... and it is, most of the time, but that nagging voice of practicality still makes itself heard from time to time, unfortunately! Here is a link to a wonderful tutorial on the needleweaving technique: http://www.workshopontheweb.com/july2001/hilary.pdf
Thanks for stopping by!
