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.

    1. 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.

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