I've been experimenting.

That's my first attempt at animals for my Tree pieces. Its not perfect, but I'd say its pretty great for a first try.

"Tree, gather up my thoughts
like the clouds in your branches.
Draw up my soul
like the waters in your root.

In the arteries of your trunk
bring me together.
Through your leaves
breathe out the sky."
-Breath by J. Daniel Beaudry

Detail.

The second tree.

Whatopus.

Whatopus!

WHATOPUS!!!

And last but not least, an experiment I have no excuse for, a lanyard string granny square. I have a HUGE pile of lanyard string, and other than lanyards, which I HATE making, I cant think of a good use for it. Do you ladies have any suggestions? I need to get rid of this stuff, its taking up room. D:
