Playing with angles and scenes

I must admit that today I became totally consumed by the different angles of the porch and steps.

Later, I decided that I simply had to spend hours looking for fabrics with obvious direction and stripes…etc…I was fascinated at the potential stripes hold for getting angles on the porch and steps.  I finally snapped out of it and focused my attention on the background. I really wanted to felt the sky using silk roving in shades of blue and white like I did in the flint hills scene.  Click the photo below to view the flint Hills sky technique I used.

I auditioned many skies but decide to go with a overcast sky.  It seemed appropriate for New Orleans.

For the grass I decided on a green background covered with a very cool, textured yarn.  Click the photo below for detail of the yarn.  I will use the felter to free motion….I will definitely use a little bo-nash to fuse it down….

Now the fun begans.  Its Felting time! Stay tuned.
