I thought the simplicity / complexity of the border was most clever. I liked it so much, that when it came time to have the piece framed, I decided it did not need a mat to provide separation - the border did that just fine.
This piece tested me a bit - Threadgatherer Silks were used to create the four spiderweb rosettes - some turned out better than others. I came to the conclusion that it looked like nature - each flower a bit different than the others. Lastly, I was most pleased with the frame. I felt that the running floral pattern echoed the rambling flowers in the stitch.
It's Fledgling Time!
An adult Towhee and a fledgling.
As you can see, the fledgling does not begin to have the bright colors of the adult.
The adult might be a bit stressed - yes?
This is a nice photo for compare and contrast between the juvenile and the adult.
Some folks think they have 'new birds' this time of year, but generally they have nondescript juveniles.
The fledgling is a cutie. Sweet stitch you shared!
