An embroidered map of my house and its jacaranda tree

The purple dots mimic the way this particular tree looks like from an aerial perspective in the fornt of my house, as well as my solanum wendlandii vine in my back patio. I am really happy with the result. This is a short video of the embroidery I took in front of the grass at Gray’s, where I made it:
