Here are a few close-ups to show the stitching.
Even though I used two layers of stabilizer under the canvas, the dense, free motion thread drawing tended to make fabric outside of the edges of the bird image become somewhat "rumpled". To salvage the thread drawing, I cut around it and then zigzag stitched it onto another canvas remnant. That did the trick. Because canvas tends to fray terribly, I applied a thin layer of Weldbond glue around the edges and spread it thinly with a soft bristle paint brush. The glue dries clear and is no problem to stitch through.
And, once again, here is the finished bird. I used a silver Sharpie pen to color in the bill. When completed, I hemmed both the top and bottom edges and left the ends open so that those spaces would accept a small dowel rod. In my stash of laces and pipings, etc., I found a length of braided cotton cording that seemed to work perfectly for hanging.
Always remember, never fear to experiment.
Sometimes wonderful things happen.

Perfectly balanced. Love the point of view and this long tall hanging!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can't even imagine drawing with a pencil, let alone with thread.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I've had my share of goofy thread drawings, Rayna. This one came out pretty good, but sometimes I'd be embarrassed to show them. Thanks for the thumbs up. ��
ReplyDeleteI really like your new decorative designs! it's so beautiful so much and good idea on site.
