In a natural habitat such as a forest, there are trees of all ages. There may be fully grown evergreens behind our stag but there are also younger ones.
I spent around 2 hours stitching this evergreen in a hoop on netting and then stitching it onto the background. With this finished all the extra brown/green cheesecloth is anchored.
The tree bark itself is brown, (bark and branches). Three more passes in different greens, placed and filled out the needles. One more light pass in still another green anchored it to the 'forest' and anchored anything loose behind.
Finally, at this point there are no pins..everything is stitched down.
