Flowers and Birds

Hi there,

Here's the first pass of the big pink flower.  The entire flower is buttonhole with long stitches to fill in the gaps.  I only did the "fill in" on the outer dark pink layer.

And here it is completed 💕

Next,  I went down to the finch underneath - that's a LOT of beads.  I still have to do the tail, his beak, his legs and finish the branch - that's for today.

Here is a bigger picture

Once I clean up and finish this little bird it's back to the background so I can finish the yellow and orange flowers on the right.  I see my stitching pattern now... bird - background- flower-repeat!  Yes, there will come a point when I finish the background 😀

Happy Wednesday!
