First I am doing the long narrow threads to create a leafy-bushy look, picture in your head a Cedar tree. ((A did you know: In Eastern Canada, the most popular tree to grow is White Cedar, in fact it outnumbers strong Maples by about10 to 1. Also, looking at Pine trees here as well.)) Anyway, so I decided I'd get that done first through out the piece and then go on to get into the next layer:



And since the hat was done for thin strands I put some of the twine I have in the garage for it. And since I'll have to buy more, and already used my available funds for this project for the moment, I'll just go through the jacket and by the time I'm done that, will have to pick up some.
Why does it look like you have nail polish on your thumbnail? You realize that will reflect light when you are trying to hide, thereby giving away your position, right?



Iceman is right, you want to make it look like the ground and what is found on it, not to make it look like a tree. I'd LOVE to watch you belly crawl from tree to tree. Would have to start calling you George!

"George, George, George of the 'Very Special Forces', strong as he can be! Aw-Eee-Aw-Eee-Aww! Aw-Eee-Aw-Eee-Aww! WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!!!!"
