The neck of the first bird:
His body:
And legs:
All are done in Madeira stranded cotton 0105.

ReplyDeleteI love this style of embroidery. It remains me a book, I borrowed some time ago from library
Of course, I got a Polish version - I live in Poland. It contains ornamental design from many artefacts. It's very useful not only for embroiderers.
Hi Arachne - that book looks fascinating. It just shows how much we all have in common across Europe.
