CQ Crazy

With Sharon declaring this block to be "Earth to Sea/water,
I was a little worried that previous members had neglected the "earth" aspect,and have been wondering how to balance this defect.
In the end I opted for a Mangrove bush/tree as it has its roots in both worlds!
The tree trunk and branches were worked in chain and stem stitch with Marlitt rayon thread with silk ribbon for leaves.A few small shells were added .......sorry I didnt have any small enough oyster shells for the trunk.
