I had a plan for the next few steps of the Spruce street
home portrait. And plans usually...well....they sure do love change...
First I tried different fabrics in many different layouts. Here's one that I sort of stuck with.
 |
| the only thing definite in this layout was the mustard fabric for the house |
 |
| tracing paper overlay to see how it would look |
Then I decided that I need to thread sketch the house first and then play with the background fabrics.
 |
| here's option number one, and I committed to the tree here |
 |
| tried playing with lace |
 |
| switched grass and sky again |
I think that I am committed to my layout now. Especially since I added the dark green plastic netting to the grass. How could I resist using it???
 |
| final layout for now... only the house and the grass are set in stone. or are they? |
 |
| cool view eh? |
If I am brave enough, I will start adding some hand stitching today and decide on the strength of my commitment.

I love watching your process. (The grass...keep it!)
I also enjoy sharing in your process; thank you! I like how the final floral fabric choice (above the house) suggests the internal aspect of the house. I also like the use of thread sketching. Very cool.
