I managed to get some leaves and my pumpkins done...slowly....as my back is doing better ....a little punching here... and a little there. I manage a about a 1/2 hour at a time. I add up my 1/2 hours and there I am - some progress.
I am learning much about working with yarn and punch hooking - CONTRAST is extremely important. Notice how my leaves sort of blend altogether - even though I dyed up some very different values, and purposely made one a blue green and one a yellow green. Thankfully the two oranges work - just. The stems of the pumpkin and the crow read almost the same value as well. I will have to wait and see 'til I put in some background to see if I need to take out some and replace.
I think it's beautiful!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment re Bra Day. Glad to hear you are getting your 1/2 hour fixes here and there. Even that will move you along surprisingly quickly. The punch needle beast is quite a difference specimen. I love what you have done so far and the mix in the leaves is wonderful. It just might need a little darker bit on the edge of the underneath leaf. And I think you are bang on about the background with the crow and stem. Time will tell, so don't do anything rash!!
ReplyDeleteTony,
ReplyDeletePunch hooking seems to act like prodding when I do it, pile = distortion, high drama and several skipped values are de rigour!
I'm so happy you are HOOKING and CREATING
