I alternated strips of cotton fabric, not measured, sometimes using a 1/4 inch seams, sometimes not, Then I cut a big square for the window and backed it with cotton and painted cheesecloth.....to create the look of glass that might be there, might be knocked out, and might just be a shadow, There is also cheesecloth in the bottom corner. The pile of rocks is done with gold thread on gray fabric. Very, very happy with how that came out, Free motion greenery arises from behind and between the rocks. Finally, I dabbed Shiva Oilsticks in gray to weather the shutters.
As I said....this is mostly a practice piece, I have photos I have taken of other old buildings that. At show up next. I've never worked in a series before. This could be a first!
Love this!
