Another crazy embellished bird will be winging her way to AAQI soon!  I had a lot of fun with this one, which started with that print fabric that seemed perfect for applique.  I found the bit of hand dyed blue wool and there she was.

I did lots of beading, some braiding and found the perfect vintage button for her eye.

She has ribbon legs too.

I did the faced edges again,  definitely my favorite for these small pieces.  I also did my embroidered initials.  Now I'm just waiting for a registration number.  This has been a great week for my AAQI pieces.  Be Yourself and Tulip Fields sold at auction.  I was shocked to see that Be Yourself brought in $155.00 for AAQI!  Also, Little Blue Lamb sold recently too.  I'm a happy camper and getting close to my $1000 Promise Goal!
