Ogham .... the Celtic alphabet of trees.

I have just completed a small but intricate textile.

I have mounted it on Silver Birch bark. 

I love using natural backgrounds for presenting my creations.

Hessian is my preferred medium for stitching on. 

It is so flexible and suits my style of  work.

I have used a variety of threads, in bronzes and gold,

 abaca tissue, tyvek, silk rods, beads, buttons and

 a small portion of a vintage doilly, dyed in greens and gold.

I love the technique of needle weaving, 

which I have used to emphasise the delicate structure.

The bark was then mounted on a portion of a branch of wood.

Thus complete, it required a title.

After some research, I decided on

Beith

which is Birch, in the Celtic Language of trees.

Perfect............
