A few of you asked what I might be planning for my next bird embroidery, so I thought I let you all know. I've already decided the next one with be bluebirds, and called "Summer Symphony". Just for fun, I thought I'd look for a few images for inspiration.
The first images that came up in my search were painted by one of my favorite artists, Marjolein Bastin. I've loved her work for years, and I think her bluebirds are perfection.
Now all I have to consider is what type of image I'd like to stitch...a pair of birds (as I did with my cardinals), or another young family (as I did with the robins). I really love this adult feeding three wee birds. Both parents feed the offspring, so I could also add the other parent coming in for a landing with more food.
I'm not going to start the bluebirds right away - holidays coming soon, you know - so I'll have time to mull over my options. I think this might be my first project for the new year, because everyone should have a bluebird to bring a smile to their face.
