Remember? I sketched it out. (I never sketch things out.)
Then I laid out the fabrics for snow, grass, and sky. That was a hand-painted piece.
I had all the thread painting pretty much done on the background... and that's where I left it. Just yesterday I added the tipi and the rosebushes! I was really afraid of this step for some reason. Ha ha - important aspects considering that the piece is called "Tipi and Rosehips" you know. lol
Whew! It worked. I hand stitched the poles and some of the grasses in the bush. Another couple hours to finish and tidy it up and it will be done. : ))) It's a larger version of it's sister here below. The original photos were taken on the same day last November.

Lovely work! I enjoyed seeing your process, too.
Its interesting to see your process yes, did you applique the tipi or os that stitched too? Couldnt quite make that out but it is delightful the way youve captured your org photo.
Right from the laying out of the background I think you nailed it! Great!
Ii agree, you have an eye for details and for simplifying too. It's beautiful!
It's a wee bit different to what you usually do but it's going to look great. I love it already. :)
Oh my, this is so incredibly perfect. You are on a roll girl!
The hand stitching definitely adds to it. I like to always add a bit on my prices as well. It's often my favorite stage.
I do love this piece.
Monika, would you mind if I "pinned" your tipi artwork? It's so gorgeous and inspirational. Kerrie
Hi Kerrie / Kiwi!
I can't find an email for you, so I hope you get this. You asked what it's fate is earlier. I am framing it and then it will be for sale. I make a living selling my art. As for pinning - I think that is okay. It all links back to my blog then? Sure...
I don't know a lot about pinterest.
: )
Hope you see this reply!
And thank you everyone for the comments - wow. : )
