Stumpwork painted bunting

I have recently finished this little embroidery of a painted bunting. I have been feeling a bit lacking in inspiration recently so I decided to revisit an old favourite subject and stitch up a stumpwork bird.

I knew I wanted it to be colourful so I put a call out on Instagram for ideas and now have a whole list of pretty birdies to stitch up. They don't come much more colourful than this little guy though!

I have already started the next bird- a cheeky blue budgie. It's going to be a fun one :)
