Tree 8 at 90% complete.
Some hand finishing left to do.
These layered constructions leave exposed innards along the edges.
Which I have disguised this time around with some flying wedges.
And will close over the spine with "shoot me now" big X stitch.
Nothing too over the top.
Less minimal than tree 5.
But a bit compositionally challenged!!
Weather wimp Floridian today.
62 degrees in the house this morning.
Wearing un-accustomed layers and sleeves.
Not used to the bulk and find the sleeves catch on everything.
Heating's on now.
Set to 74.
That's more like it!!
Tree 8 makes me think first of a dhow sail and then of that shark in the Red Sea (Egypt) - I have to ask, how many trees are you planting in your forest? Will they proliferate and cross-fertilize? (Now I am envisaging Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' when Burnham Wood 'marched' upon Dunsinane.)
ReplyDeleteAs for having to wear layers: well at -9 C (25F) I'm into five, though I push up the sleeves (and freeze) when the cuffs get in the way!
Carry on creating; the trees are WONDERFUL.
Poem-Spill two re Tree 4 is on its way;
Thank you Ann!
ReplyDeleteFor the moment I'm trying not to plan too far ahead - that has squelched my productivity in the past!!
A small copse of trees, a minor woods, perhaps.
Each one I make brings ideas for the next.
I haven't played with larger or smaller yet. Or edge finishes. Or weaving. Or mixed media...etc.
