I spent the day working on my Twin Healing Trees fabric painting. I drew the backing using permanent marker. Then I found the right fabric for a border…
I had to piece together some batting on the back of the piece after sewing on the border. Then I found a green piece of fabric for the backing that was just the right size. I’m sewing it on by hand because I didn’t want any stitching on the front of the piece. I’m planning on finishing it tomorrow morning.
I love the background! It looks like the universe and maybe “infinite possibilities.” To me, this is a joyful painting. Pensive, but joyful.
I’ll take “infinite possibilities” Barbara! It does go mystical in the background, doesn’t it?
So glad you got to work on your ‘Healing Trees’ after the stressful turn of events with your friend needing to go to hospital. It looks great, and sure it will be on its way to a new home soon. Hope the ‘hands on’ creative time helped you work through some of the stress – and did prove to be ‘healing’.
Surprised no-one else has spotted / mentioned, the leggings are made out of the fabric with birch tree trunks on, just ideal!
Can’t wait to see how the completed item turns out, and what you feel like working on next…..
Ah you saw that in her leggings Hannah! They made the perfect stripes. And you’re so right, I hadn’t thought of the healing part about working on the piece. I guess I was too “in” it.
Oh Maria! This grows more stunning and shares more story every single time I see it! Incredible!
She’s all done now Kathye, I love to hear that you still like her so much.
