All done!
Okay, I need to paint in that little stretch on the hem and I also need to paint the sides of the mounting board, but otherwise, it's done. :)
So, to recap...
First I quilted the background (a lovely hand dye - not sure if this was one of mine or one of Deb Lacativa's), and then I added approximately one million french knots.
And then I painted a whole lot of paper towels in the appropriate colours, and then I fused them, and then I cut them out into little teeny tiny feathers, and bob's-your-uncle (just like that! Over the course of about 20 hours) my bird was done!
Two more to finish the series and two more weeks before they're due. Can I make it?
Let's find out!
Linking up with Nina-Marie's "Off The Wall Fridays" and "Thank Goodness It's Finished Fridays". See you on Monday!
