Embellisher Experiment #8, continued: More Detail

The idea all along with the felted landscapes was to add the detail with handwork on top of the felted background. This is what has gone since yesterday....

Oh yes, those are dandelions!
This still has a ways to go.....

JoWynn Johns said...: Amazing! I just don't know how you do it. I heard a Teaching Company lecture on Mozart yesterday in which Greenberg described Mozart's compositional method. He never wrote notes, never crossed out, just wrote out the whole score at once. Even while conversing! It was all in his head and as he said, he just had to write it out. I thought, oh, that's the way Allie creates her works. Boom, there it is!; April 4, 2008 at 7:05 AM
CJ STITCHING AND BLOOMS said...: Hello Allie, My DH bought me an embellisher several years ago and for the last year it has been setting in the corner looking sad because it has not been used. You have motivated me to get my embellisher back out and work on a project as gift for my dear friend. Thanks. You do lovely creative work. Judy; April 4, 2008 at 7:16 AM
Cat said...: Just more beautiful everyday!
(That's what my favorite uncle used to tell me when I was a kid.)
