I finished my pulled thread work trees!
I used AI to remove the reflections in the glass, so it might not look exactly like my piece, but it is pretty close.
I used a range of different fibres – cotton floss, pearl cotton, silk, wool, silk ribbon, organza ribbon, and weird thread I bought from the Thread Studio.
The back ground is a silk hemp fabric, which I painted using inktense pencils.
I am quite pleased with how this project turned out.

I have started working on the roots – a mixture of french knots and drizzle stitch. I thought I would try a cast on stitch for some fungi as well.

This term at Tresillian we are making pulled thread trees.
The background fabric is linen. We removed a section of the weft threads, and we’re using the warp threads to make the trees.
I have added macrame cord and twine to thicken the trunks.
My trees are going to be flowering – cherry, apple, almond, etc. I have bought different fibres in shades of pink, white, yellow, green and brown.
