I snipped into some of the stitches to soften the look and help the distant trees stand out less from the background.  I sewed the trees in the very foreground extra thick, so they&#8217;re literally closer to you. (My signature is in the impressionist style, shall we say, with those thick threads to sew through).  I also used a little bit of white pastel dye stick to help the very distant threads look more faded.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of the finished piece still in the 7-inch hoop, with all my messy workings-out on the side.  You can probably see why I ended up with such strange measurements for the size of the finished piece, with so many scribblings to crop out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.threadedviews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_24721.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.threadedviews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_24721.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2472\" width=\"538\" height=\"717\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2006\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.threadedviews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_24721.jpg 538w, http:\/\/www.threadedviews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_24721-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2.125 x 2.75 inches.
