Foreground on the First Day of Spring

I decided this morning to have a leisurely day and work on the fawn. Or rather, finish the foreground. I made a few million more pieces. These pieces are not leaves from the trees but lush spring growth on the floor of the forest. Foam Flower? Ginger? Large oval leaves were easy to make and apply.


Adding in some lighter colours adds a spot of sun on the forest floor. Applying these one by one with tweezers took on a rather meditative tone. Contemplating spring?

 
After covering the entire surface with "leaves" and layering it with the netting, it was stitched down.
I added the last 3 trees and a few more edges shrubs.
Paper Bambi now looks like he is inside the forest. with the meadow beyond.
Maybe tomorrow I'll start on the fawn.
