the background fabric of this landscape
As you
can see from the thumbnail picture at the top, it is a very good themed
fabric for the background of a landscape. It has a scenery printed.
However, it looks too flat and boring. I would like to make it
more 3-D like.
At first, I went through my collection of fabrics. I found
some green scrapes of fabric and a piece of small themed fabric with
elephant images. I pre-fused the fusible web to the wrong side of both fabrics.
Then I cut the green fabric into some random shape snippets and
scattered them to the bottom and middle parts of background
fabric.
After that, I cut out two elephants from the small themed fabric and
added them to my forest scenery. I really like the way that came out
so I stopped from there. I enjoyed the process of making this fabric landscape.
It is fun and fast. Now it is your turn! Let me know how you like it.

Developing a Design
Sometimes, it is very easy to further develop your background
fabric into a good design. All you have to do is add some
final touches to make the scenery meaningful to you. However, there
might be a time where your feelings just do not speak to you.
If this happens, you might look into my
suggestions as follows.
Hang your background fabric on the wall and look at it whenever
you
get the chance. One day, something will come across your mind.
At that
moment, you
will be able to visualize and fit in everything you like to show
on this fabric painting. Never give up is the key to success!
