Rocky Inspirations - the whole piece

This is the full piece. I was thinking of rocky textures, of lichen, moss and rock surfaces. Hopefully, this piece has that feel.

I couldn't have done this without learning the TAST stitches - most are new to me each week and I am enjoying the ride. For this I used a variety of TAST stitches so far: french knots, bullion knots, arrowhead, long and short stitch, cast on stitch, buttonhole wheels, wheat sheaf stitch and a few others...the details are in the pictures in previous entries.

I have just got Beaney and Littlejohn's Trees as a Theme book - so bark and tree inspirations next, I think! I've got this amazing photo of the inside of a tree fern...
