This week we are making a background for Sadie, the Saddle-Billed Stork…..
It was important to me that I find a way to simulate the grass in Sadie’s meadow!!
But HOW???
Then I had the idea to make “thread grass”, using the same technique that you use to make thread lace.
The only difference will be that I am going to add all sorts of “rubbish” to the lace to make it look like sticks and plants embedded in the grass.
This is a three-step process and today we are checking out the first step…..prepping the background.
In this video, you see many of the products that I used. You also see that I changed my mind about halfway through and pulled a bunch of stuff off and started over!!!
Enjoy……

If you are interested in trying this technique, the VIlene can be purchased on Amazon.
Be sure to come back tomorrow for the second step in making the thread lace.
