Tree Again

Some of my homework assignments from the Textile Art course I was working on last term have made their way home. It was early winter when I was working on this tree for my Drawing class. I had trouble with my sewing machine-- and my technique! The background pulled in beyond repair. In the end I decided to go with the texture. I was in such a hurry to hand everything in that I didn't get to post the final result. Here it is:

It's always interesting to look at my work after a break from it. I'm reasonably happy with this now. And the tree itself is now quite a different being. It's been through its flush of spring blossom and is now covered in red-brown leaves.
