That's the blank canvas! Just need to fill it in with THINGS.
There needs to be enough going on in each frame to make a page, but also an even spread to work when viewed as a whole landscape when unfolded. Use the camera lens to check this and balance out the spread of objects/trees.
Made some trees, need to alternate the size and form so that it looks more natural. Prefer the grass felted down, looks a little less chaotic!
I am really enjoying the process of felting. It is so exciting to see these objects taking form and standing on their own. What was once a pile of loose fibres is now a sturdy tree! I keep feeling like I'm not doing the right thing because everyone else is drawing, but I am proud of myself for doing something different and learning a new skill.
And there's the deer in the scene! He looks way too big compared to the trees, must make some bigger ones to fix the proportions. I should have determined a set scale before I started.
The tower looks so wonky and there is light leaking from the bottom. need to make a base to go underneath.
Doesn't look quite as spiritual as I would have liked, can I fix some fairy lights to the wall? Some LEDs? Does it need the silhouetted monks? Hmm...
