Mockingbird Ornament...

My mockingbird ornament is complete! Rather than add a tassel or nest under this bird, I added three silver beads to weight the bottom of the ornament. 


Now, my new mockingbird hangs next to the blue tit ornament from my first bird class with Clara Warschauer. I think her next bird may be a blue jay, but I'm thinking about a different one that I may tackle yet this summer. I'll draw up a few ideas while I mull it over.

If you're on Instagram, you can click HERE to go to my Brynwood Needleworks page and see the video I shot showing my hummingbird among the hollyhocks. A little bee even stopped to say hello. 

On to the next thing. Your guess is as good as mine right now. I'll be sitting down to peruse my choices.  We'll see together soon.

    1. Hi Marilyn:
      I sure wish you could see them in person. The photos don't do them justice.
      Thanks, dear.

      Thanks! I don't think I could choose either. We'll see. I've got about five in my head.

  4. Sherry of createology: Your beaded birds are stunning. You may need an Aviary soon. I love them both! Your next project will keep me entranced for certain.

      Thank you, my friend. I'm leaning toward a new bird quilt...perhaps the bluebirds will be next.

  6. Just stunning. You have quite a collection started.
    I loved Clara's unboxing clip of her frog.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

  7. The beautiful flock is thriving.
    A new bird quilt? Can anything top that Cardinal quilt?
    Have a great weekend.
