The Accidental Embroiderer

Back to the birds 

At the moment I'm desperately trying to put together a collection of pictures for our annual NEOS (North East Open Studios) exhibition, which will open at the end of the month. If you're on Facebook, you can have a look at our exhibition preview

Anyway,  I've been going through some of my recent embroideries looking for things to exhibit, and have come across yet more of the good old familiar subjects – like for instance birds! I seem to do more birds than anything else, and here's a nice colourful one that's leaving bits of coloured light behind him. I haven't a clue what brought this idea on – probably watching the birds flying through the trees around our house and seeing flashes of light behind them as they broke through the thick leaves

  1. Hi Mia, This is absolutely gorgeous! I love your creative interpretation of the colored lights that trail behind the bird. I am sure people will love this fun, brightly colored bird.

  2. Beautiful work!! I love the bird leaving bits of himself as he flies away from whatever troubles he had.
