I'm inspired by the mountains that surround me.....so the idea was to hand embroider a mountain scene and frame it with hanging branches using two strands of floss. (Which took a lonnnnng time!) Though I had not envisioned any other design elements....as often happens....the piece tells you to keep going....and so I did.

Love your piece, Mary! Pine trees are wonderful, aren't they!
It's wonderful! That is a lot of stitching!
What a fun little piece!
So charming! You finally got those stripes under control. I've been considering similar dangling branches for my Adrift piece but can't settle on how to best pull it off. So I study yours with extra interest.
This is beautiful :)
What a beautiful piece of art! Love all the details.
See there...I never would have come up with that design! It works SO well!!!
I didn't realize it was all hand stitched until I saw the close-up. Wow! That's a lot of stitching and it looks great!
