Work in progress: For my latest thread painting, I decided to stitch the main subject first and then choose a background. So far, this ecoprinted fabric dyed with madder is my first choice. I'll live with it a while before committing.

I received my book, Printing from the Garden by Alison Kelly, and I love it! It is well written, beautiful to look at, and contains a wealth of information. The book lays out detailed and easy to follow instructions, and provides a list of common leaves and flowers that will give excellent results. This book is a great resource for beginners and experienced botanical printers alike, and one I am excited to add to my collection. Thanks @floraobscura_ for your gorgeous book!

Soft wool wrap printed with eucalyptus, oak, liquidambar and maple leaves. Warm and cozy on a cold day.

My Great Horned Owl thread painting is getting down to the final tweaks. I've been working on it off and on for two months. Looking forward to getting it finished and framed. 🦉

Work in progress: I'm working on the background of my Great Horned Owl thread painting. Debating whether to add branches to the trees. 🦉
