caught in a hoop
2008 August 4
Captured in dappled sunshine, a little bird made of muslin and painted, ready to be set free. I don’t yet know where he’ll fly. ( Click to enlarge as usual)
This was a continuation of satin stitching on muslin from last week-a bird motif. I might continue more satin stitching and painting on the hooped piece, or I may appliqué it to something else.

Bird traced with water soluble marker then free satin stitched in a hoop.
There was no stitching this weekend-away visiting the children in Cambridge.
He’s beautiful Threadspider! My favourite bird is the Oyster Catcher and your sketch reminds me of that, but the beautiful colours say peacock
I love the way you’ve stitched this little winged friend. Awesome color choices, too.
this bird is so well done. Your experiments are great.
Thanks for the peak into your journal… I suppose I truly am a creative voyuer at heart… I really am enthralled with journals, including yours. The bird outlined is great.. the colors fitting for him… Thanks, for sharing, Judith
You bird is looking really lovely!
