Here’s the nearly completed TIF piece Forest Floor. I have all the pieces completed and I need to make the final decision on placement. I’m fairly certain it will be very close to this layout but if anyone has any comments or suggestions for a different position, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Here are some closeups. It’s a combination of wet felting, needle felting on my Janome machine and hand stitching.
I’ve used some brown silk paper for the pine needles.
And a variety of yarns, silk, threads for all the tiny details.
Here’s the inspiration photo – do tell me what you think.

love the stalked franch knots! They work so well for that lichen/moss 🙂
I’d say you are on the right track. By the time I scrolled down to the inspiration photo, I thought it was another shot of your work.
It is beautiful! You really caught the spirit of it. just like stegart, I did not realize at once that the last picture was the real thing. I really like what you did.
Wow Ruth! It’s gorgeous! I ove how you made the sticks and the texture is wonderful!
I had the same reaction as Terri. I though the last photo was another shot of your work! It looks great. I love the french knots of the lichen.
Gorgeous, this really appeals to me, I love it! I certainly cant suggest any changes.
