I've been busy working on my hummingbird piece - it was time to begin the bird itself....
I started by laying down feathers at the top of the tail. I'm using 2 strands of embroidery cotton. It's Anchor or DMC threads.
Taking shape now.
It's slow work but I love it. I've been getting up very early in the mornings to work on this.
I'm very pleased with how his body has turned out. To get that effect, I am mixing one strand of one colour with another.
Nearly ready to move the work up on the frame and start another hummingbird. There are 3 altogether so a little while to go before I get this one finished.
I hope you come back to see my progress.
Have a great week!
Rhianon.
