I started working on a new landscape and I honestly don't know if this one is going to be the first to end up in the garbage. I had a hare-brained idea that I would attempt to use small 'bits' (squares and rectangles) of fabrics to create the sky and the ground areas...layered and then stitched down with a hand running stitch. The greens I used were way too in-your-face and so I have added two layers of netting to dull them down a bit. I used one layer of the netting on top of the sky, primarily to hold down the raw edges of the fabrics a little more. There's a way to go on the building itself before I can call that part done. Now to make the decision of whether to call it quits at that point or perhaps add some trees. Not at all sure about this one. To salvage or not to salvage, that is the question.
- Have a peek at the gallery of THIS incredible artist, and if you want to read more about her fascinating technique you can find that HERE.
- If you are contemplating organizing your sewing space, perhaps you might find an idea or two HERE. I know some of it discusses purchased organization tools, but I thought the other tips were worthwhile and you can always come up with tools of your own. There's another really good article with great tips HERE.
- From the same source, have a scroll through her great tutorials found HERE.
