It’s done.  This is the piece that I’ve had in my head since last year.

Last night it was almost set out in the yard for the raccoons but today I worked on it some more and now I love it.  It needed color so I added a small branch with a bright green leaf.  Then I decided to add two of my amanita muscaria.  The colors all popped and it was just how I imagined it.  I might still add some other fungus, the kind that grows on the side of fallen decaying logs…  We’ll see.  I can see this being another never ending piece.

I had lots of help from my friend Kelly who spent 9+ hours stitching black lines for me.  My friend Anna knit the tiny little slug, bumblebee, mushrooms and snails.  I don’t even want to add up the hours that have gone into this piece between the three of us.  I think it was worth it.

Yay.  This is my last piece for Plush You!  I’m done.  Now to finish the pieces for Parklane!
