I used the distant trees/mountains on the right to explore 3 more stitches.
There is the Pine straw and mulch at the bottom of the tree on the left and around a tree on the right.
There are several grasses and grassy clumps. The tall grasses didn’t encroach enough on the right side. I think part of the problem is that I separated the threads, so most look laid, and 2 of the 3 greens are too close in color to each other. Plus, I kept rows too uniform and horizontal. Then, on the left side, I didn’t separate threads, angled more, and encroached more, and it looks better to me.
This was a very useful class. I still have areas to test more stitches at a later date.
This is super interesting. I like to stitch landscapes/still lifes as well, so to see how the different stitch sizes/selections create perspective within the design adds to the visual interest. I feel like you are working toward the centerpoint and I look forward to the conclusion.
It is as done as it is going to get. It was not intended to be a display piece. It is a note book piece but I filled in more than other students. I felt it was easier to see the effect on larger areas.
