Playing with stylization. Also I just really love gnarly old tree trunks.
The needles are mostly done freehand with hardly any guides as my chalk pencil barely works. (has anyone ever come across a good chalk pencil?? maybe i need to look into getting dressmakers chalk. idk)
[photo ID: an embroidery of an old bonsai tree on black fabric in a round hoop. The trunk is swirling yellows, burgundies and oranges. The needles are dark green and arranged in a repeated fan pattern contained inside half-circles.]
Johann Faust - Höllenzwang (17th c.). Details.
At the beginning of the 17th century, a book of black magic was published, attributed to the mythical Faust, and known by the title Höllenzwang. The library in Weimar owned a manuscript of this text, which Goethe was aware of. The document, which is difficult to date, is written in cabalistic signs and, according to a German gloss, contains a series of magic spells for exorcists.
