So here is my work on Barbara Warner's Hanki CQ for the FFT #16
I only did two heavily embellished seam treatments because I didn't want to overwhelm the delicacy of the overall piece
this is the top corner
and the lower corner by the belly of the bird
and the left corner
the bird is an embroidered motif done in DMC cottons and sparkle threads on felt I followed Gerry K's tutorial here.
this is a closeup of the beadwork at the tail
and here is the whole piece together
I tried to balance the colors with white, yellow and blue being the main colors using the red, pink and green as accents only.
this is my first RR in CQI how'd I do?
