I started this harvest picture in September I think and this week finished the trees and hedgerow shadows around the edge. It is layers of silk, painted, machined in rows, cut and fluffed up with a suede brush. (Stitch and slash method ) I have added loop stitches and painted a background. Footstep running stitches around the edges.
I am enjoying my nature journal but it does take up time. Sometimes I am happy sometimes, well i know i will improve.
So work in progress (wips on instagram! I know it confused me too) Stitching is happening- more detail as I work out the problem solving.
Remember the old mans beard from my journal? - here it is in stitch - like a hairy spider or sea star. Lots of chiffon makes it fluffy and the beads give it a glint of sparkle.
