The tree is starting to look more like a tree here. I’m still quite pleased with how it is progressing.

I have included a picture below that shows a detail of where I am working right now, which is the end of the knot-work of branches above the yellow flower.

I have a situation there where this small branch is supposed to end up branching off the main branch, then curling over in front of it. I finally decided that the best way to achieve the look would be to cut he main branch where it goes behind the small offshoot branch. When I cut the section out I cut this section as one piece, then I gently curved the offshoot piece a bit more so it overlapped the piece that it was to go over the top of. These were cut in basically the same position they are now, but i added a small bit more curve to the branch over the main branch just to cover the seams.

The way it is here is only partially finished. I will come back and tuck the rest of the branch, cut out separately, behind the offshoot to look like it is a complete branch, then I will finish stitching down the offshoot branch. For now, I need to finish sewing the underside of the first segment of the main branch.
