A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Ah one, ah two -
Yes, two wraps on each French knot, done with two strands of DMC floss...
Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.

Your tree is beautiful! Such lovely work! I also love your sentiments.
ReplyDeleteGood thing I don't mind making French knots - even though there were a lot of them in that little tree.
DeleteI love that blossoming tree. Now I need spring to get here, and see the real thing.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a real cherry blossom tree here - I think the growing conditions don't lend themselves to them. All I've ever seen is pictures.

There are five different colours of floss in that little tree - hoping I managed to get depth of colour.

We all have to resist in whatever small ways we can manage, that's for sure.
DeleteLovely! Details are what make a piece special, aren't they? I still remember your birch leaves :)
ReplyDeleteFor sure! Good thing I don't keep track of the number of hours that go into some of these pieces.
