We are urged to add some thread painted trees to our Waterfall scene, and so I have started work on them. Above is one in the hoop with the trunk and first layer of foliage done. I am using a water soluble stabiliser called Avalon plus ( made by Madeira) which is a lovely one to use as it does not have the plasticy feel of some water solubles, it alsmost feels like the very softest vilene but dissolves away very well.
Here are two trees completed waiting to be added to the piece before quilting. This is really my first adventure into serious thread painting and I am having fun with this. The tree on the left really does have too thick a trunk but it will blend into the background when applied -----I hope!

The threads painted trees are appearing beautiful in the white background color.
