I did this little guy some time ago but have only just got my camera sorted out and working again.This is done using the embroidery machine to make the swallow, I then trim it around and layer it on some wool felt, paint and stitch on more detail, layer a bit more, then add vintage trim and cording, make some wire and pearl nest, a few dangles, a wire hanger - a frill of painted organza around the edge and viola a cute little wall hanging
I hope to have time to make more, it is very rewarding and doesn't take too much time or thought, just lots of fun and creativity
