The satin stitch in one form or another works best for me, I think. <br />Have you found Sharron Deacon Beggs' blog, Threadpainter's Art? It's well worth a visit for ways of stitching trees.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-90328825111954420052015-02-02T15:12:15.589+00:002015-02-02T15:12:15.589+00:00I found these samples while looking for inspiratio...I found these samples while looking for inspiration to stitch the branches on a quilt I am currently working on. They are all interesting, my particular favourite is the satin stitch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772444141435622237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-65906780640420232982014-07-06T17:43:59.093+01:002014-07-06T17:43:59.093+01:00Oh my gosh, what a wealth of possibilities you are...Oh my gosh, what a wealth of possibilities you are developing. I think my favourite is the first one but of course I expect it would all depend on where. And could you use a monoprinting technique if you wanted to add colour. The inkjet inks would move if you tried to add a wash of colour I imagine??? So much to think about!!

It'll be interesting to see how the inkjet ink takes on acrylic or silk paints ... I will let you know if anything interesting transpires!Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-56659562312867294432014-06-25T13:13:05.802+01:002014-06-25T13:13:05.802+01:00Hi CS!

What she does with trees is indeed beautiful. I especially love the sense of depth and layering in her paintings - lots of food for thought, not least, how to get colour behind some of my tree images ... <br />And yes, time will need to elapse while I think what to do with this stitching. Meanwhile, I'm working on another train of thought - posts to follow when I'm good and ready ...
