Crafting ADD..

It's a serious illness that I'm sure many of us crafters suffer from. I am one of them. I can't seem to stay on one project for very long before I'm moving on to the next. It's just that once I get a new idea, I get very excited and have to start it right away! I think I'm afraid I'll forget about it. Or lose the motivation to do it.

So this is my newest project. It's the size of a sheet of paper (8 1/2 x 11). I started with a plain piece of light blue fabric and I started drawing with a black sharpie on it. I really didn't have a plan when I started. But as I was working on the top part, an image of a tree just popped in my head so I drew in the trunk. Then I colored in the sections with more sharpie. I figure, since it isn't getting washed, it should be fine. Right now I'm filling in certain areas with thread. I just want a few sections to pop out. The current problem I'm having is that I really am not happy with the sky. I was unsure to begin with what I was going to do there. So at first, I took crayons and colored a bit on it, then ran a hot iron over it to smooth out the lines. After that I added a layer of white angelina fibers over it. Then I STILL wasn't satisfied and thought it needed some texture so I put a layer of gel medium on it, then swirled embroidery floss. At this point I'm going to wait until I finish the rest of the tree, then I'll decide what to do with that mess of a sky. My fear right now, is that the gel medium might start to yellow. What about brushing a light bit of paint over some of the raised areas in the medium to highlight the texture? At some point I'm gonna have to stop cause I'm afraid I'm gonna ruin it.
