Tree Stories II
Ruth Lane, Kalispell, Montana
Tree Stories II is based on tree rings. The photos are of tree stumps in the woods around my house. There are so many stories, if we only listen. Techniques include needle felted background, free motion embroidery, machined cords, hand couching, digital images on silk and machine stitching. “Salvaged” items in this piece include a recycled sweater as well as layers of repurposed tulle. These were free motion embroidered and burned to reveal layers.
