more transparent

 The dear Emily Tull came by in Stitch Club again.
I love her work and her workshops !
She is a very talented "thread painter".
This time the subject wasn't (a part of) a portrait
but a fish : a sardine, or any other fish
(or any other subject)
This time I chose a hummingbird because they also
have iridescent colours, much like fish scales.

"Violet crowned Woodnymph"

Amazing these tiny colourful birds, who sadly only live
on the American continent.

Working on water soluble with tiny snippets :
very fiddly !!!
But in the end it was worth it !

In the garden the first shift of colours "

the YELLOW aconites, WHITE snowdrops and the LILAC crocuses are gone

 

and the first bits of BLUE arrived !

I LOVE spring !
