After several weeks of grueling physical work (house painting & gardening),
I finally found a few minutes to go into my studio.
I needed to test out the roots in order to figure out the outer cuts, that is, how far out they would extend.
Lots to go as the roots will be as wide as the tree, but now I've got the outer edges drawn in with a white colored pencil. Once the outer cut is stitched down, it will simply be a question of filling in with needle turn appliqué. Of course, the brown fabric branches will become more supple--everything is just pinned.
And while I was pinning, I looked at the pomegranates again.
Man, I love this piece! Every inch is invested with all I've got.

Ha, yout pomegrenate tree looks like a tree by Piet Mondriaan ! (later it all became abstract .... !)
Ha, in fact it's more the "white" that form the roots ....
This is looking fantastic...I don't know how you figure these things out. So creative...and fearless...Julierose
