Ally,

What a great piece! It reminds me of a fellow Canadian, Monika Whalen's work. Those canola fields are beautiful! I love it! I bet it gets snatched up quickly, if it will be one for sale.

Just finished another thread painting. Here is the before, inktense painted background and the top one is the finish results just have some hand French knots todo but left my hand sewing threads at home. We are at our daughter's dog sitting.

Ally, I enlarge the picture I'm using for these to actual size (I do these as an 5x7 piece, so not too large. Then I use my light table to trace the outlines and main lines of the house onto tracing paper.  For this picture I used fabric for the sky and grass. I sometimes paint them.  On this one I traced the house onto a white fabric and then painted it the various colors before cutting out and fusing onto the background. Then I TP'd it all. The landscape was all freehand, but pretty well matches the landscape in the original picture I was given.

Of course there is always creative license.

BJ - Your thread painting of the house of your friend, is lovely.  Bet you are really pleased with it. I would live to try a building but my perspective is not that great would have to trace the building. I have been asked to do a cottage.can you tell us your methods, is your sky painted or fabric etc.

will be watching with interest the challenge.

A finish!

Just finished this one. It is a house my friend lived in for many years and she asked me to do it for her. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I think it is my favorite of the houses I've done so far.

Now on to the challenge piece for Sharon.
