Today I’m showing details of the trailhead area and
foreground. Plenty of rocks were used in the making of this area, as well as
shrubs and desert trees. I selected a variety of fabrics for these features,
and I thread painted to depict weeds. Since the rocks were small and some of
the fabrics had a potential to fray, I used Fray Block around the edges. These photos show the
work in progress.
The horse’s body was made with ultra-suede. I love the
textures it gave to the horse. I picked the color to match the color of the
horse owned by the woman that commissioned this quilt. I painted the shadow
side of the rider’s body and horse to give it more dimension. The tail was made
using embroidery floss. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. Very
little grooming required J.
I painted the trailhead sign and backed it with wool to make
it stand off the surface a bit. The sign legs were made using the same fabric
used for the palm tree trunks.
Next post will be the subsurface! Be ready to get dirty!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
