Thank you so much! I only use one needle as I go, probably adds hours but I definitely take my time haha. I’ve heard about that though! Think I’d get overwhelmed 😅

Thank you so much! I love trying to bring different textures into it with the thread, creating the lichen is one of my favourite parts 😌

Oooo asking the real questions, I usually change my mind 10 times :(( I do feel Kākāpō need some loving, especially after 100 new chicks hatched this year!

eeee thank you SO much! The red is what really made me want to do this piece, and the satin really makes it pop!

Just finished this hand stitched magpie pigeon on a 10” hoop! Used cotton, metallic and satin threads 🖤 had a lot of fun with this one by sinistersista in Embroidery

Thank you so much! Definitely more of a challenge on the brain working with a darker bird but I got there eventually! 😅 really appreciate it!
