Jack Pine Continued.....


Back to the Jack Pine project! I shaped the 'leaves' with my fingers to resemble flat discs with a pointed end. I needle felted it on to the branches pointy end in and then needle felted the upper side to the craft felt, leaving the rest of the leaf sticking out.
I positioned the leaves up and down the branches to create the illusion of limbs of the tree.I then added reflections in the water and needle felted black fibre around almost everything...I really like to outline my works..black makes everything else really stand out. I added some pale gray and white to create the 'sunny' side of the rocks and voila! It's done!
