More work on the birds

I have been working on one of the bird pictures today, adding details and shading.
Starting with a lighter mustard coloured thread, moving on to a tan and then a deeper brown.
I also decided to add similar shading to an image of bird houses. I love bird houses and did a sketch during a family day out.
They both still need LOADS of work but I'm pleased with the results so far.

I've been working on some drawings and transferring them in to stitched images. I have so much more work to do on them but I'm actually quite happy with them.

I have done a number of studies of birds and thought this was a good place to start. I always seem to go back to stitch. Some how I feel comfortable with this medium and as it 'works for me' I'll stick with it.
