In the process of quilting this winter scene. No batiks this time - I had that grey tree background stuff that I started with, looks like faraway forest (I hope)
I read someone's blog yesterday that had a winter scene and the trees had shadows. It made all the difference in her quilt. I want to try that. See where I have quilted wavy lines under the trees on the right. How to make the shadows?
Paint? Pastel crayons? Thread?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Lovely, your winter hiding place ! Maybe you could try to work out the shadow placement on a paper copy before? I think I would try that - because I would be afraid to getting it wrong ;-)) As for the technique - I would probably use thread, but that's just because I could take it out again ;-))
ReplyDeleteAnother cute critter hidden away.....maybe pastels.

ReplyDeleteChalk could be an option for shadows. Love it. It's coming along great!!
ReplyDeleteI use Prisma colored pencils for shading. Have been enjoying this series you're doing!
ReplyDeletePerfect fabrics for this quilt! Not sure how to make tree shadows either.
ReplyDeleteI love your art quilt! For shadows, I would try light blue or purple-gray fabrics, or possibly some tulle?
