Robert' Stag - Mixing materials

Once things get to a point they seem to take on an energy of their own. While the work on this guy is painstakingly slow, the addition of each new element makes the woods become real and the Stag come alive.

The base of this piece is cotton, both the background and the stag. I put off adding Antlers for this whole time as I really didn't know what to use. I finally settled on some low loft polar fleece. The irregularity in the colouring made it work.

The woods were augmented with wool yarn, string, thread and painted cheesecloth.
