Inspire Me with Lichens

Lichens, ferns, and moss on sandstone at Ledges State Park, Boone, IA sometime in 2006.

Wool batts, silk carrier rods, and more available in my shop

What I'm up to, making art yarns for embellishing my moss piece of course!

Moss In Progress

This piece is going to take forever and a day to complete, well in order for me to be happy with it it'll take some time. I love hand stitching but it can be quite time consuming! With each layer I add I realize I need to add more layers for the effect I'm wanting, that's my inspiration photo to the left of the felted project.

Moss in progress

I couched some hand dyed jute down with my sewing machine using a zig zag stitch. Now to add some bullion and french knots, beads, and more to the surface. This is going to be a LOT of stitching and work what was I thinking!
