Mahogany
One of my latest pieces, finished in October, has been traveling with me to many places as I stitched and stitched. I am often inspired by the microscopic and the telescopic. This was inspired by a photograph of a cross-section of mahogany wood that was magnified 400 times.

The green is handstitched with two colors of thread, the long, wavy lines are wire and the deep red are handfelted pieces with stitched detail. It is on a background of cotton and crinoline. It is suspended by wire in a mahogany frame that was made by my husband and woodworker, Charles Minchew.
