Stumped

I'm doing everything BUT what I'm supposed to be doing, now I'm writing my blog.
I'm working on my "tree stump" for my exhibition and boy has it got me stumped, I look at what's sitting on my kitchen bench and I can see the finished piece in my minds eye but getting the 2 things together is not a happening thing, plus I've had a headache all day so that's making me grumpy and the stump not cooperating isn't helping.

this is how it started out in the sculpture studio at art school a few weeks ago

then I made a base with hessian so I have something to attach stuff to

I have needle felted wool roving to a large piece of brown stretch denim that I have been stitching down to the Hessian today and then I'll starting the long process of shaping around the roots then needle felting by hand to embellish the trunk but now I think it's time to start cooking dinner - see another diversion..............
