Tast 2012 French knots
i have reposted this picture from a couple of years ago of the West Australian Wattle tree. I lost count at 2000 knots. There are knots on knots on knots to give shape to the clumps of the flowers.
It is worked entirely in wool threads on blue linen
As well as the knots there is raised stem band for the trunk and couching. Some fly stitch and buttonhole and straight stitch in the grasses.

It is my No. 1 too. Congrats. It is an amazing piece of work and I am lucky enough to see it in real life from time to time. Your french knots are amazing. Well done, my friend.

Congratulations from me too Shirley. This tree is so well portrayed, and as many have said, very lifelike. I was in awe of this the first time I saw it, and nothing has changed!!!
