A few weeks ago I posted a couple of birds from a new set that I'm working on – a series of colourful birds in birdcages. There are now 12 of them, and while I won't bore you with all of them, I will put up a few more. After the last posting I got some interesting messages from readers who were saddened by the idea of so many birds in cages. So for you, I've added one of a bird breaking free
Still caged…
Almost out…
Free at last!
Someone also suggested that these designs could be used in a long thin panel – that is, a bellpull. I'm a huge enthusiast of bellpulls so at the moment I'm working on this idea. The cages by themselves wouldn't be all that interesting, so I'm drawing a lot of lush foliage to surround all the cages. Both the drawing and the digitising, as well as the eventual stitching out – will be a lot of work, but I hope it will be worth it
Love the free at last looks just when I had birds a open door let me out
Hi Mia, The bellpull sounds perfect for the birds in cages that you are digitizing. I love all of the different styles of elegant birdcages that you are designing for your beautiful and colorful birds.
Your birds are beautiful caged or cage-free! I like your idea of adding foliage for another point of interest.
