I love vintage bird drawings and incorporated this Morning Dove into my latest petite pocket.
Again to my 'stash of stuff' where I pulled out these tiny metal birds to dangle from the bottom of the pocket.
I will admit to having several problems with this pocket -- things like working with the picture and the final stages of assembly. Perhaps I've done enough of these pockets that I'm getting a bit careless. Perhaps the colors, which seem so subdued to me, did not fulfill my expectations...
However, I am on to the next one -- which I hope will be a bit more colorful and present a bit more 'energy'.

they're given wings."

Subtle and quiet. It may be the colour reproduction, either the screen or the original photo, but one of those greens tends a lot to yellow and the other to blue - might you have been happier if they both tended in the same direction?
ReplyDeleteOoooooooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteNICE! :-)
Wonderful!! Each one you make is exquisite and each one different from the other. I love seeing them all!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Penny, in spite of your dissatisfaction with a few of it's components, it's simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe have these doves in our back yard. :)
A bird needs gentle surroundings to flourish.
