Hmmm -- you say you've never heard of, let alone seen, a Yellow Winged Blue Bird??? Oh my...
I'm so glad that I can introduce this new species of bird. Related to the "Love Grows" design by Doreen Frost this little bird has come to life here in my studio.
So much fun to work -- and to play with.
It seems to me that this is the perfect time of the year to discover ornithology in the form of punch needle.
What's going on in your studio during these hot summer days?

As July becomes a realty I finish up a new-to-me punchneedle design. Obviously it is not geared to summer -- but I do love this autumn design and had to get busy on it, even though the Fall months are no where near.
This design is from Doreen Frost's imagination and skill. I have heard people say that they prefer to create their own designs and I would have said that myself at one time. BUT these days the idea of starting from scratch just does not appeal to me.
As I stitched this piece the only change I made to the design was to use reverse PN so that instead of the loopy finish I ended up with a textured, almost drawn piece.
It so pleased me to sit here in my studio punching each stitch and watching the design become real. Where is your creativity taking you these days?
