    Looks like a tiny bit of something to me! And that slight bit of stitching peeking out above, it has a rooted quality….

    At first I thought you were stitching a forest, but then I saw the tail feathers. I love the tassel, perhaps a feather gone astray? Wishing you a creative week where your thoughts fly from your mind to cloth.

    HEY HO “tassel: the terminal male inflourescence of some plants”–so clever you are! Just dropped in to say Hi–and that my post just posted is done with you in my mind today. I’m off to cheerless tasks–then some great writing with my group this evening.

    simple, a utilitarian way of gathering those loose, frayed threads. Very organic looking, I really like this Grace.
    It reminds me of a native american feather…maybe that on a head dress?
