Today I went to the Gloversville Sewing Center and the Joann's Fabric Shop near there to begin my fabric search. Armed with printouts of Ponderosa Pine branches and pinecones and the original photo, I sprawled on the floor by the batiks attempting to find material for the sky, foreground trees, and the pine cones and needles. I was able to find some brillant browns that are perfect for the pinecones and parts of the branches, some muted greens for the trees, and a two perfect matches for the pine needles.
The sky on the other hand remains a challenge. Shooting for a greyish sky rather than a brillant sunny day blue or even a midday clear sky blue. I was able to find some, just not enough yet to effectively do a pieced background. Need to hit The Joyful Quilter in Glenville and to keep scouring Batiks, Etc online.
