Making this background I actually found a fun process. Mainly because mixing textures and creating backgrounds like this one a a lot easier to do on photoshop rather then trying to create then using more analog techniques which I have done in the past.
The invert tool was really useful, inverting the different textures from the mono print experiments really help the piece blend together with the backgound texture because in the early stages it wasn't working well in a white background but changing it to a mono print texture was a good decision.
This allowed me to then create the tree trunks with other textures and working into it it with the eraser tool helped me to create an almost 3D effect. But this was also achieved I think with playing around with the blending options for the individual layers. Subtract was really useful for this.
Re using the other images too worked as I was able to edit out the leaves from the 4th print and use them to create the head of the tree and the bushes that run along the bottom of the frame.
It also created a good contrast having them in a whiter colour then the darker trunks, balances contrast.
