Little Birds

Design - "Summer Hive" (Black Sheep kit)
Designer - Ewe & Eye & Friends
Fabric - 32 count Cream Graziano
Fibers - DMC
Started - 1 February 2003
Completed - 13 September 2003

This is another framed piece from my Bee Collection.  It first glance it appears pretty straight-forward, but it has several speciality stitches.  The entire skep is made up of "long" stitches rather than cross stitches.  The base has Rhodes and Smyrna stitches.  The center of the sunflower is stitched over one (rather than filled with French Knots).  

Here are some little birds for your enjoyment.

Male Anna's Hummingbird



Lesser Goldfinch


Male Bushtit
