I browsed through Google images and came across a photo of shelf fungus-then found some real ones on a walk through the woods (on a level, smooth trail!) The fungi were made by fusing two tan (considered very light orange color) pieces of fabric together, then fusing on some blue and red orange or yellow orange fabric similar to the variation in values in the shelf fungus. After scrunching and stitchng the brown background for the tree, the fungus were folded at the top and stitched on the fold so they became very 3-D. Hopefully that shows up in the side view. I haven't finished the edges of the brown tree-still debating what to do there and I may just leave it unfinished as a play piece. It was fun to use unrealistic colors for natural objects and work 3-demensionally. Not sure how abstract it turned out, but at least I got something finished this month!

I like your description of how you accomplished this almost real looking piece. Your bark is probably the most realistic. I like this!
Love the tree! and the colorful fungi growing out of it is very playful.
Glad you could do this one.
Cleaver shelf fungi - very dimensional piece. Oh yes that was one of the suggestions want it?
This is great. It's obvious that you gave a lot of thought on how to accomplish the challenge in fabric...not an easy thing. One of my favorites from this challenge.
