FINISHED!! Have to say...this is one of my favorites. The theme for this challenge was Snow. After receiving a foot of the beautiful white stuff. I was inspired both for the technique (snow dyeing) and the subject matter.
I cut the tree out of a white-on-black commercial fabric, I had a stone fabric which made a perfect wall. The snow is cut from all black-on-white commercial fabric. Each piece is individually applied to the background as raw edge applique. I love the feel of a cold gray day the background gives, with big clumps of wet snow clinging where it can. I also like how the wavy cut of the woven fabric background gives a feel of the cold winds of winter in the frozen northland.
The front fabric is folded to the back and stitched instead of a usual binding. I didn't want to break up the tree or distract from it.
