I don't know how well you can see the additions to the landscape, but here's a photo anyway....
The barn and the sky, as well as the grass, has been stitched/quilted and I've started shading the barn and working on the clouds. There are several more layers of paint/pencil to add yet before it looks the way I would like it to. Of course there's always the very real risk that I might well flub it up totally!
Today's quote... "Living a stress free life doesn't come from perfect experiences because there is no such thing as a perfect life; rather, it's a reward of frequent positive interpretations of one's ordeals"
Your new landscape piece is beginning to breath...come to life. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTakes a lot of layers of 'stuff' to get it to look real, so it takes awhile!
DeleteOh i can see the additions--very nice--you are moving right along on this one...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYay - glad you could see what I've done. It's hard to know how much actually shows up in the photos.
DeleteYou won't "flub" up your landscape. The stitching on the barn looks great and the sky is amazing. I love those clouds, too.
ReplyDeleteGood to know somebody has faith in me!
DeleteIt looks as if it's taking on a personality already to me.
ReplyDeleteEach step in the process seems to add that bit of personality to it - an evolution that's fun to create and watch evolve.
DeleteThank you for the links
ReplyDeleteThe cross stitch deer is lovely; the stitched lampshade are gorgeous; and the knitted oranments look easy enough for a beginner. :)
I loved those stitched lampshades too - not sure I would ever attempt making one though. Glad you found something interesting!
DeleteI can't see your progress because I'm new to your blog .... that's a super project and I will now watch it grow, Merry Christmas 🎄
ReplyDeleteWelcome Clare-Aimetu! Hope you find something here that you like. (ps. if you want to see the 'evolution' of this project, just scroll through a few of my older posts).
DeleteAnd Merry Christmas wishes to you as well!
This is going to be another gorgeous piece. I would like to be a fly on the wall and watch you work.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be fun if we could 'fly' to each other's houses and see how the other works? I would dearly love to see how you do those wonderful dolls. We can but dream though.....
DeleteI think it's looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki! It's changed a lot since this photo was taken....stay tuned!
DeleteOld barn is looking good. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteThe barn is progressing for sure. And you're most welcome!
