Third Mountain Piece
Okay, this is the result that I had in mind. The fabrics are speaking loud and clear and telling the story. A bit of oil stick pastel work shades the distant "orange" mountain and I drew in a few more tree trunks in the foreground stand of trees. Now, if I can just leave it be.
9'x 9"Two different variegated King Tut #40 threads are zig-zagged on the middle range mountains.
...and here are the fabrics that form the foundation of the scene before bits and pieces plus wool roving were added for finer details.
Now, who would've dreamed that the flip-flop shoe batik fabric would become trees. It's amazing what can be "seen" when digging through heaps of scraps. I can't believe these bags contain so few green scraps.Next is making the border for this piece. I'll photograph the steps for a tutorial in the next post.

I liked the second one and didn't understand your criticism. Now that I see the 3rd on I get what you were talking about. I still like #2 though!
Who would have thought that flip flop fabric would make such beautiful trees (well, obviously you did!). Wow. Beautiful work Nellie!
Nellie the colours you have used are beautiful I'm glad you added the red hues in th front.
Very lovely. I really like how you show your progess with these pieces. It's fun to see how you lay out the fabrics.
