Today I got my muslin layer on my design wall and got the background laid out for the Sapling. I know the center of the "sky" may look a bit monochromatic just now....but that is where the main part of the sapling branches/leaves will be so I'm not too worried. Still working with the black "wedge" on the left of the "ground". I keep moving it. (The second layer of ground -left and center- is a piece of painted silk Maggie sent to me! Thanks, Mags!! Fits in perfectly dontcha think?)
Each Pecan piece will be mounted onto 24" square canvases with a 1.5" depth. So I have my muslin marked to include plenty of fabric to wrap, turn under and staple in the back of the canvas frame.
Now I have to decide if I want to do raw edge applique or if I want to turn the edges under.
Anyway...here it step one and I'm on my way! Can't tell all of you how excited I am to get fabric on the design wall for this one.
