The Green banana Mystery deepens......
The Green banana Mystery deepens......
Tuesday, 1 May 2018
Hidden, within the depths of the green bananas, the mysterious* treasure resides......
(*For the best effect at this point, you should be hearing weird horror B movie music playing?)
The hidden treasure being, of course, the Silver Nutmeg and its companion the Golden Pear, which cunningly dangle from the top of the Tree, obscured by a green haze of Half-stitch worked in three shades of grey-greens.
The plan for this confection is that, when viewed from the finished side, one imagines the tree being prised apart to reveal the glorious treasure within. One hopes it will be worth it!
Current progress is the working of more green bananas** to complete the top of the tree......
** The Milanese braid, ‘Arches’ is worked upside-down, to suggest the falling nature of the leaves.
