a new bird

In another week
is the last Art Market of this season :

GRIETMARKT

in Amerongen.

It is a lovely market with art and design
combined with a farmers market (organic food)
If you are anywhere near on Saturday,
please visit
you won't regret it !!!

That means I'm still busy with some new work.
Stitching songbirds with all kinds of snippets
is like painting with cloth !

This time : a barn swallow.

I LOVE their acrobatic flight
and the way they gather together happily on telephone wires !

This was the start.
After the background was pieced together
the bird comes grows with little snippets . . .

. . . stitched together with tiny stitches

(Just need to paint the canvas
and stitch it on)
