For those that don't know Hilary has been participating in the '1 stitch for a year' challenge with a group of us & her piece started off with a very Jacobean look as well.

The inserted digitised animals add enormous interest to the totem and the curves of the design cleverly make one look again and again at all the details . Not sure how you could 'add' to this. It seems complete as it is .

I really love the way you think out of the box - which I find particularly difficult. A great piece.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
