created the tree and the foliage by machine-sewing tiny snippets of yarn,
without gluing or stabilizing them first.
This allows the threads to move around as they are being
sewn, which enhances the illusion of the plant as a living, growing,
organism and results in a visually energetic 3-D embroidery.
Sewing this way is very satisfying but sometimes
unnerving! |
