August is here

Oh my, really ?
They say time flies
so use it well !

I finally started with the background I had ready for my next bird :
the hummingbird.

I would looove to see these little fellas
in real life but they don't live here
at this side of the ocean.
(you can't win them all . . . )

For the bird I used some snippets
that I had backed with "Vliesofix" ("Wonder under")
because the silk bits can so easily fray.
For the leaves and flowers I just cut out the shapes
and I started to tack them down along the edge,
a lot of work, but I love it.

And, maybe because I'm a restless person,
I've started with another, and also bigger piece too.

Not sure yet what to do with it next,
let's wait and see
