bling bird

One of the demo's I did while I was in Christchurch was surface stitches, I had 2 pieces set up, one was patterned fabric I was stitching onto and the other was using traditional stitches to decorate or bling woollen applique. I love how the same stitch can look so different when used in a different way. I just made this bird up as I went, no planning which is not like me but I love him, I had the button in my pin tin and thought it would make a perfect eye.
