This sweet little holly Christmas tree is from a Dover
(copyright free) book.  I traced it onto the background fabric
using the Light Table.   The fabric was pre-washed to
remove all the sizing.  I used Jacquard textile paints, let them
air dry for 24 hours and then heat set with an iron.  I mixed in
a small amount of russet with the green to tone down the
green.  I didn't want a bright green so this worked perfectly.
I will be quilting this little painted holly tree and making a
pillow out of it.
