Have you ever been inspired by something you see and wanted to create it in stitches but wondered how to do it? I was up to catch the sunrise the other morning and I was so struck by the big ball of the sun peeking through the brush, I had to take some photos.
After I cropped off all the extraneous stuff in the yard from the photo, I was pleased that the photo represented accurately what I was seeing - not always the case with sunrise or sunset photos.
So, now the question is.... how can you create this with a needle and thread? The trees would not be too difficult since they all appear uniformly black in front of the sun. Creating the background is where the work would come in - a little ingenuity would be needed!
After looking at these photos for a few days I have come up with ideas I think would work. I would paint the background to achieve the grey, yellow and orange areas. The sun itself is the part that had me stumped. I have finally decided that the orange layer would have to be some very bright fabric - a neon orange really. Then it would have to tone down all around so I think that layers of sheer could be used to do that, making them progressively lighter as the got closer to the sun itself, thereby graduating the colour.By cutting the sheer, you could also get the effect of the rays coming out from the sun I think.
So, what do you think? Would it work? How would you do it?? It is a nice little mind challenge! lol
