Singing bird embroidery

    I've been embroidering a lot lately...I'm doing all of my ink birds and I can't wait to show you guys...
    I embroidered them with a single thread so it's very detailed and delicate. I've finished two of the birds but the other one hasn't been made into something useful yet ;) I'll show you when I'm finished with it.
    I used regular cotton DMC embroidery thread on heavy linen fabric.

      wow this is beautiful.

      i like that you did only one strand because it does make it very subtle.

      Beautiful :-) Looks almost as though you drew it with coloured pens! Did you sketch the bird before sewing?
