It’s certainly a strange but rather pretty ‘worm’ to greet the blog page this month......
But! This is no ordinary ‘worm’...this is the first completed section of the first tree in the dream-like Woodland Walk.
‘Woodland Walk’ is the current title for this new piece of insanity, the name might change, but I wouldn’t like to guarantee anything else! This new piece has been festering within the confines of my poor demented brain for a couple of years or so, which is not unusual for me.
The inspirations have been many and varied, so I’ll witter on about them as time and sections (*there’s a clue there!) slowly progress......
This piece is not what it might seem, in terms of construction. It is, in fact, worked all as one piece with **Floss silks, using Lattice 3 (with and without twists) and Basketweave, Milanese lace stitches, with the addition of Withof rolled edges.
*‘Mace’ is this month’s real clue to some of the subject matter that has inspired the lunacy!
