As I mentioned, this piece has expanded not only in size but in design as well. Tree branches have now been added and fused in place, followed by hand embroidering long needle pine bunches. This photo doesn't quite provide the dilemma facing me. The sky was actually a darker blue than what it appears in this photo and no matter what combo of green threads I used....they barely showed up.
What to do??? After much thought I got out my Prisma Pencils and lightened the pieced sky area. Yes, it was a chore but it worked. Of course it would have been easier not working around all the branches which then required some touching up using a brown pencil!!
Here's what the piece now looks like after hours and hours of hand stitching. And NO...it's not finished yet...stay tuned.
