I fell in love with a photograph that Tammy Lang had on her blog. Tammy has some lovely pictures there so be sure and take a peek.
Anyway I went ahead and did a thread painting of the one i really liked. I did a sketch and roughly painted it with fabric paint. The next step was to put it in a hoop with a stabilizer backing..... and then just go nuts with the thread....
I haven't done this for awhile so I felt a bit rusty, but I like the results.
When I got it finished I made it into a fabric post card....

hi miss magpie!
i cannot believe how your postcard looks so much like the pic i posted:)
how nice that you enjoyed and turned a piece of mom natures work into your own:)
Hi Mags.... fabulous thread painting of Tammys photo!..you are amazing, dont care how many candels you have on your cake LOL
Maggie, your thread painting is absolutely glorious and a wonderful tribute to mother nature and her impecable dress sense. Is there anything that you can't do!! :-)
I was wondering how that worked...it is surely a work of art, now, and not just of Mother Nature and Tammy, but of Maggie, as well!
Do you EVER sleep, Maggie???
Hi Maggs, just stopped by Tammy's blog and nearly fell off my chair because of her red dress doll story. What a hoot! Threadplay... what fun! This is so awesome, thanks for sharing! ~Monica

Hi Maggy - I found your blog. Thread painting is my number one "fun time" right now. Did you see my squirrel???? That was my first attempt and I'm working on another - a landscape - right now.
Yours is gorgeous! So is the beaded doll. I must try one of those soon.
Hi... I looked for your squirrwl but I couldn't find it!! Will try again, I looked at your needle felting and you have some beautiful pieces. I know I could get addicted to it!!!! Like everything else....
