Playing with scale enabled me to really play around with different stitches. I often try and make my birds as lifelike as possible so it was good fun to get creative with some pattern and I like the effect. I'm not sure how this would work on a bigger scale but it would be interesting to try- the textures would look nice in crewel wool in linen I think.

ReplyDeleteThis could be your most adorable piece ever! Your subject is so teeny and special and your beautiful work definitely does it justice!
ReplyDeleteSo tiny and detailed. I have fallen in love with him.
ReplyDeleteWow , I just pulled out my ruler to gain perspective of your piece - that' an incredible amount of detail in such a tiny area - are you cross-eyed from all that teeny stitching? Joking aside, your work-as always - is positively awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you all! I deliberately stitched it to scale but when I was finished I was sure I had made a mistake and no bird could be that small!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, this is amazing! I can't even begin to imagine working on such a tiny scale! You do some amazing work!
ReplyDeleteLove this piece so much! Just featured it on the &Stitches blog!
