Tree Texture
I have this challenge at my quilt guild where I need to do something in the theme of "Up Close and Personal". Here is a WIP. I'm trying to recreate in a partially abstract way the trunk of a tree. Next I am going to add some stitching. I did do some couching of threads but I didn't like it so I just added some more layers and now it's kind of imbedded in the background. Any suggestions on stitching or adding to the piece greatly appreciated.

Joanna, all I can say is YUM!!! It's wonderful just as it is now! I'm not sure on improving it unless you tucked some seed beads in here & there to get a little glitz?
Joanna this is fantastic -not sure what you can do to it--will have a big think
Joanna this is coming along nicely. It's got great texture.
I love it! what about adding some texture and color in the form of 'needle lace' to represent the moss that grows on trees?
I'm not sure I would add anything. It's beautiful.
I like it a lot, Joanna. I'm not sure it's precisely like a tree trunk yet, but it's got gorgeous texture. Stitching might well be the answer. Helpful, wasn't I?!
I agree with Francoise Joanna, its really beautiful as it is.
It's looks nice the way it is, but if you want more 3-D texture you could add lines/shapes with Puff paint. You can apply it directly to the piece or you can stitch or glue it on. You can buy it in basic colors and it can be painted with acrylic.
