Molting Crows

I stitched "Doodle Bugs" a Blacksheep kit by Ewe & Eye & Friends back in 2004.  The kit provided a very small (5' x 7") piece of Sugared Ginger Lakeside linen.  So when I decided to have this framed, having enough linen to stretch and secure it was challenging.

Fortunately by framers were up to the challenge!  By using a wide mat we overcame the stretching issues.  The metallic purple frame picks up the colors of the two "Doodle Bugs" and that of the inside border.

Bigger Birds are featured on today's post.

Red-tailed Hawk

And molting Crows

Lots of brown instead of glossy black.

Both birds returned Saturday morning.

This one doesn't look too bad.

This one though...

Looks like a miniature Turkey Vulture!
