Still working on it - you can see from this little mosaic that I added a fourth and fifth layer of leaves (and who knows, I may add another before it's all done) and then...
I added some vines to the broken fence and the trunk of the tree. I didn't like that first attempt though, so...
A subtle change, but a good one.
And now begins the part I despair over - approximately one million leaves need to be hand stitched. (Why, oh why do I DO this to myself?)
And as always - the devil is in the details: which may include one hundred ladybugs dancing on the head of a pin. :)
So that's MY weekend - and you?

Incredible! That's a lot of hand stitching, but it's also what will make this an incredibly stunning piece when it's done! Have a great weekend Kit.
ReplyDeleteI agree, incredible! And worth every bit of work -- it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather I hope it will be in the end. :)
DeleteYou know it's a pain in the butt but THAT is exactly the reason you stand out head and shoulders in your work...
ReplyDeleteoh, this is quite lovely. and, of course, i applaud your tiny work even more. it's almost always worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteI love your little mosaic at the top of the post! it is like watching your tree leaf out the way real trees do in springtime {except I think the trees around here have forgotten to wake up this spring!}
ReplyDeleteOf course this is fabulous and I can't wait to see what you come up with in the way of a solution to the far trees!!
