And this is (more or less) the finished bellpull, with the seven separate birds stitched in sequence. It still needs mounting of some kind but the stitching is finished. It was not an easy or straightforward job, although perhaps someone more expert with a sewing machine than I am might have found it easier.
The finished crow bellpull
As with all these projects, I can immediately see things I should have done differently, and have even been tempted once or twice to stitch it out again so I can change some of the colours and shapes, and maybe get it right this time. But that will have to wait – I'm happily involved in some new projects at the moment and they will have to take priority
I love these original panel.Great job!
Hi Mia, I love the colors that you chose for your crows and the subtle changing of your hand dyed fabric enhances the whole effect. The whole bell pull is just spectacular!
This is wonderful, I wouldn’t change a thing. I like the way the colors change slightly from one crow to another. Great job!
Mia, love the Crow bell pull. I’m not sure what coloring you would change, but the coloring is perfect. I’m sure some of the crows are wondering why another crow is standing on it’s back. LOL.
Beautiful
I love seeing your designs and the colors are wonderful. I like the different intricate detail each crow has. I love the different tails each crow has too. I’d love to get these designs from you.
Oh, I think you’re perfectly expert with everything involved! The shapes, colors, details and separate stitch areas are wonderful, and I don’t think anyone would change a thing. BUT, I know how it is when I have finished something, I’m never completely satisfied and always see flaws where others wouldn’t notice them. Your work, however, is on a way different level, and amazing!
Amazing I like the look and colours of the crows
Quel bel ensemble
On reverrait de les croiser
Merci Mia et bravo
Mia, the crows are amazing, you have outdone yourself with this bell pull. I wouldn’t change a thing, we are our own worst critics. The crows are so different and blend together well, colours are super. GREAT JOB, WELL DONE.
I love the Crow Bell pull. The colours are stunning. It’s all around gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Finally! A murder of crows that anyone would welcome around their home! These fellows are quite handsome!
