Springtime Spice
Thought I’d show you some lint I’m preparing for a new cherry blossom picture. I did the last one in stitching but I’ve been wanting to try it in lint. I think it will have a softer look, which seems right for the subject. There will be some stitching of the branches though.
I’ve already painted a sky-blue background and glued down a few blossoms “in draft” as pictured, to see if my colours look okay. Then I chopped up some strands of thread very finely (taking care not to sneeze : )). Next comes the gluing…currently I’m sticking lumps of lint down onto blobs of acid-free tacky glue, unless I run out of patience and get some spray version of the glue.
Now let’s see which comes first, the actual season of spring, or the finished piece!
