Marking Time and Bark Markings


Some plants are already forming seeds


Others like my gorgeous Azalea are still in full bloom


And in the studio I'm still working out bark marks.
This one is more successful than the first.

    The bark marks make such fascinating patterns, don't they!

      Yup...I've been wondering whether I will try and do some rubbings on fabric before starting to stitch them.

      Thanks Joe, but I haven't got to the stitching yet (that's a doodle). I can't decide what size I should work these bark pieces.

      They are fun to doodle. Now I'm pondering size for the stitchings.

    Your bark marks are wonderful! I feel like I can touch the roughness of the tree.

      I'm wondering if the finished stitching will actually look like bark....not that that matters really.
