Here's another snow scene. I tried to capture the look of the countryside north of my house last week during a near whiteout. I used a piece of yellow net over the sky to reproduce the eerie glow you get when the sun is actually shining through the snowstorm. I put Angelina fiber over the whole piece to represent the snow, and that makes it very hard to photograph. This week's lesson: think about the finishing. I used the pillowcase method for this because I was hurrying, and forgot that you can't press after you put on the Angelina. Hence the very wonky edges.
And here's the aftermath--ugh.
The Angelina is effective for capturing the whiteout. The "aftermath" is a very familiar scene !!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sparkle the angelina provides; perfect whiteout conditions!
ReplyDeleteNever mind the edges...this is a great concept here and you should do another take on it.
ReplyDeleteLike Kim, I loved the aftermath scene. Indeed, we all share it!
The effect of the net and the angelina fiber is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI just got my sewing/cutting area all cleaned and straightened out a couple of weeks ago and it is already such a shambles.
"A creative mess is better than tidy idleness." A pin given to me by the SIL several years ago when she had her crafts store.
The inclusion of net seems especially inspired. Do you ever wonder why small pieces of art make such a BIG mess???
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks like the mountain in Close Encounters of the Third Kind!
ReplyDeleteAll joshin' aside, the Angelina fibers ROCK! Nicely done!
Forgot to mention~~ love the picture of the "aftermath." We should all share more photo like these!
ReplyDeleteYou call that a mess? I like what you've done with the sky. I always think it looks very spooky when a big snow is coming-sort of other-worldly. Very nice
