After I got over the initial excitement of my painted background, I was struck with a sudden infusion of self doubt. Could I do this, would I be able to make what I needed to, was I capable of it, was my vision even the right one?
After struggling with that for about 12 hours, I decided to make a list of what needed to be done and tackle it in little bits.
My list looked this:
1. ancestor
2. trees on either side
3. human figure
4. minor figures
5. ground cover
6. background trees and leaves
7. lichen/moss for the trees
8. surprises
9. depending on how ambitious you feel, perhaps some ants and bugs for ground cover

Of course, my list was actually more comprehensive( I don't want to give everything away!) but I felt much better as soon as I saw it in manageable chunks.
And the first thing I decided to make was that elephant that I showed you a couple of weeks ago. And then I decided to make the fairy.

Kit, you're so creative! It looks so easy on your blog. :D And what's funny is that I've been mulling over some fairy wall hangings for my daughter's home-from-college room out of leftovers from my Sea Breeze fabric kit. My biggest problem is that I want painted faces, and I can't draw/paint worth beans unless I want it to look wonky or like a kid did it! lol
ReplyDeleteLists are good! Love the fairy wings, with the glint of gold. :-)
