It looks as if a wild cherry tree is trying to emerge

As I started work on the piece, the shapes began to emerge more clearly and it looks as if a wild cherry tree wants to appear here. So I've couched the trunk and a couple of branches in goldwork, and I'll do more of the fruit and leaves you see here, as I go. 

This is definitely a design as you go piece,and I like very much the gnarled effect I got by crossing the gold thread here and there, instead of having it parallel like a flow of water,not right for this context.

I've been studying embroidery on my Kindle, and now fancy a bit of vining around the trunk,maybe in a green, we'll see.  All kinds of ideas are coming at me.
