I wanted to use some tiny bits of paper for the tree top, so I put on some background, brighter than it looks in this muted photo.
I put some bits of green paper with curly things on them in the bottom of the grass and added more bits of painted papers and book page pieces.
Bits and bits and bits and bits....
MORE BITS ! Getting colorful now.
And finally the last of the foggy photos (I think)
This is more like it really looks. Good lighting, no photo adjustments. I got to where I wanted to stop the bits, but it needed something. I think I was ready to be done. I put the spiral stencil design in the middle of it, something I didn't think would happen when I started the project. I made a mistake on the location and it was not centered the way I thought I was making it, so I had to add some big dots to help balance.
Sheesh !!
I put some bits at the bottom like fallen colorful leaves, some low to be closer and some higher to be on the ground behind, but when it was done, the back leaves looked like they were floating instead and....
..... from a little ways away, I thought it looked more like birds than leaf bits, at least some of them do. That was a good surprise.
I worked today and for some reason I have felt like I needed a nap all afternoon, so I am going to go raid the kitchen and then take a 30 or 45 minute nap and then I am hoping to be refreshed for the rest of the evening.
I hope !
I also hope you are having a good day and life is treating you well.
