Garden Party

Say hello to (starting on left), Mr. Majestic, Miss Priss, Mr. Outrageous Orange, Mr. Bold, Little Miss Shocked, Miss Chickadee, and Little Miss Last but Never Least*. Using a combination of full coverage and ever so subtly open stitches, these birds are sassy, bold, and a blast to stitch. Recommended threads include silk ribbons (duh), beads, rich overdyed silks, more beads, elegant metallics, and, um, craft wire. It was a joy to create.
