I hope you enjoyed the thread painting. I love Lyric's suggestions. Sometimes I try to do everything with just fabric and thread; it is a challenge. But if you want greater realism, paint can help!

So when am I gonna get that stamp you made? Love the lean look of it. That was such a fun class wasn't it. Karen, love the finished book cover. So when am I gonna get that stamp you made?

Why not combine what you've learned in both classes? Grab a paint brush and mix up some brown, black, grey, purple paint and paint in some mottles and shadows in the rocks. You could mask off parts of the piece with freezer paper then splatter spots of paint n the rocks with a toothbrush. You could also paint right over your stitching with different greens, either with a brush or sponge it on to blend the grass a bit. Have fun! -Lyric What a lovely book cover you’ve finished!
