I have no idea where the inspiration for this came from. I think I may have seen some birds done in a similar style somewhere, but where exactly I can’t remember. Anyway I did it for no good reason apart from the fact that I just liked the idea. It’s quite a big piece and needed to be stitched in three parts: the left half, the right half plus trunk, and the birds, but that was quite straightforward to do. The background was printed with leaf shapes – you can’t really see them clearly because they blend in with the embroidered leaves but that’s all to the good
Three crows in a green tree
One strange thing: the scan seems to show that there is a lot of bobbin thread showing on the edge of the leaves – you can see a lot of little white flecks here and there. But oddly enough, when I checked the original, there is no bobbin thread showing at all. I can only guess that the scanner light reflected off some of the thread and gave that characteristic white flecking
Je suis très touchée par ces paysages, l’arbre, les oiseaux. Merci
Hi Mia,Love the watercolor effect of your fabric that you printed with leaves, which then blend into the background. The dark color of the trunk, branches, and crows really stand out as a stark contrast against the varied greens of the leaves and background colors. Thank you for sharing another piece of your embroidery art.
Mia that design is so true to what I see out my
patio door. I enjoy your embroidery art very much.
Mia, it doesn’t matter where your inspiration came from, the crows depicted are so real to true live. Love the design. Thank you so much for sharing.
