Yorklands - Day 14

The upper right hand  corner is complete. After adding 17 more branches over the thirteen previously applied the density and colour is pretty close to what I want.

There are 3 different colours of green used here plus a darker green in the bobbin.

Tomorrow? more foliage.

Yorklands - Day 13

I knew this day would come. It was all so easy.
I decided  there was too much blue. The 'blue' snow was competing with the water so I took it off and replaced it with a mottled grey. this is easier to work with.

And after closely examining the foreground (for the umpteenth time)........I decided it's all rock walls.
That said..........I started taking off the cheesecloth. All salvageable.

Nuff!

I had a nap.
Much better.
I spent the afternoon build two stone walls.

Yorklands - Day 12 -

I decided last night to move this piece to my Long Arm. After today, I'm not sure this wasn't premature. I thought it would allow me to work on more than one section at once without have to pin and protect what wasn't sewn.

The big draw back is I can't see the whole.
Made more branches for this one corner.

Yorklands - Day 11 - Deep Shade

I've spent a long time in my head deciding how to tackle this issue. In the end I went with black organza. Opaque material was too there, netting and cheesecloth required too much material but the organza was easy to shape and remained thin and translucent with many layers.

Over that I placed 13 'branches'. Yep, all in one spot. This is going take a little time.

Yorklands - Day 10 - 3 Cedars

While these three trees are so prominent, they are, strictly speaking, background and will have a lot of other things put over top.
That said, they have such wonderful bark I enjoyed spending 3 hrs placing individual strands of thread before anchoring all under netting.
