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.
Both of the birds are absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what is next!

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

You're starting a wonderful collection! I don't know which I like better and now I'm anxious to see which one you choose to do next.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteThanks! I don't think I could choose either. We'll see. I've got about five in my head.

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.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sherry:
DeleteYou're so sweet, my friend. I like the idea of an aviary! I hope you like what I choose next.

Stunning and gorgeous are the right words! They capture the beauty of the real birds in a unique and beautiful way! Will enjoy seeing your next beaded bird...or bird quilt!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteThank you, my friend. I'm leaning toward a new bird quilt...perhaps the bluebirds will be next.
We'll see soon!

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