In this post I'm detailing how I made the center panel for In Dreams I Slept in an Cabin. I started with some roving laid down on rayon/felt, as shown in the
previous post. I had some silk scarves I painted as gift items; one was too blotchy as a scarf but I realized it would make an ideal river, so I felted that on.
From there I blocked out the cabin, the surrounding woods, the sky, and the fields on the other side of the river.
This was a lot of fun to make, I enjoyed adding all the details and building up the scene.
Once I had it where I wanted it, I added backing and batting and further detailed it with stitching. Here's a look at the back of the panel, in progress.
I've been doing this type of panel for the
River series works for several years now. Most have been more abstract, but each one is a nice balance of challenging and fun to dream up and then stitch. Here's one from
The River Ran Deep:
The Longest Day:
In Dreams I Learned to Swim:
Ice Jam:
and
If I Woke at Dawn:
More to come, stay tuned!
