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.

Shirley, what fantastic work...everything about the tree is stunning even the little "dead" branches. And the grasses and foliage are amazing. A great piece of work

This sample is exquisite Shirley. The stitched tree is so lifelike, and the amount of knots is beyond comprehension!!!
