Nuthatch

The Nuthatch looks fine but the tree looks like a telephone pole with a fake branch nailed to it.

This is more convincing and the composition is better as well.

I'm going to stitch the eye and beak; so I'll show them in orange.
What if I place the Nuthatch in a box?
What if I split the branch where it forks?
The branch is taken care of I just need to finish piecing the bird.

This results in a small triangle that could be hard to sew.

I'll go with this. I'd rather sew two medium sized triangles than one small one.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteLast year a Red Breasted Nuthatch sat on top of the bird house in the back yard and went yank yank yank continually for over a week. Finally his call was answered and he found a mate. They weren't in the bird house much more than a day when a pair of Chickadees came along and kicked them out.
I love it! Your nuthatch looks just right. Someday I want to make a quilt of all sorts of song birds. Will be finishing one with cardinals soon.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words.
I think your idea of making a song bird quilt is an excellent one. I hope it happens soon.
