Earlier this week I had a session outdoors with painted used dryer sheets, which I distressed with my heat gun. Great fun, but very smelly and definitely something to be done out-of-doors.
Yesterday I quilted and trimmed my Texture piece for 15 x 15: "Tree Study I".
This morning, I faced it:
I wasn't sure it needed anything more, but I had these fun pieces of distressed painted dryer sheets...so I've taken a couple of auditioning photos:

| Audition #2 |
The differences are subtle...but I'm leaning toward the second one. I don't think hand stitch alone would get me the effect I want -- it seems to be all (the dryer sheets) or nothing at all. Any thoughts?

yup, second one. Looks like the real deal! :)
I really like the dryer sheets. I like the texture it adds.
# 2. Sorry, I missed that there were two of them!
Great job Margaret! I love the dryer sheets too. They really add a more realistic and textural element.
I like the second one also, Margaret. Otherwise that tan piece in the lower center distracts. Great way to get the texture you are looking for!
