I took a little online instruction on fabric collage. This will be for hubby. I lived in Illinois and told him I had tons of cardinals in my backyard. When he visited for the first time, the poor guy never got even a glimpse. We sadly don’t have them in Oregon.

Gorgeous!

wow this is wonderful...was hard ?? i live in Oregon also ...don't see but always read about them ...

[greaterexp in reply to twooldcrows]

No, it wasn’t hard. It was a different technique than the one I’d used before, but very easy. I still need to add some greenery or something. I’m in Southern Oregon.

He's looking good to me! Just like the ones outside right now! We have lots of them in NC. You keep inspiring me to really do something! I did make a plain round cover for my lamp table today. Maybe tomorrow something more exciting. Been making cookies with my 11 yr. old grandson today. He's lost interest now. We'll ice and decorate them tomorrow! I'm bushed!

It's beautiful

Is it a quilt? Have you made the bird out of scraps of material? I am intrigued. It looks good 😌

[greaterexp in reply to jimeka]

It will be a wall hanging. Yes, it’s all from little scraps.

[jimeka in reply to greaterexp]

Can’t wait to see what else you do to it 👍

[greaterexp in reply to jimeka]

I wasn't fond of the greenery she includes in her class, but have no idea what to add to fill this in a bit more. Maybe I'll just keep it small and stark.

Beautiful! I love those birds.

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

I do, too! I miss seeing them, especially in the winter.

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

I saw one about a week ago. When it shows up again, I will tell it you said, "Hello".

📥 <what is that?....without looking.

Gorgeous! And a bit sneaky...you get to keep this beautiful piece in your home! I live in NC too, and we have these lovely birds year round! I am inspired by this, but time will tell if I actually try to do it. Thank you for sharing !

[KarenUSA]

Beautiful. You learned the fabric scrap technique on line?

[greaterexp in reply to KarenUSA]

Yes. I've done some others with classes by other instructors like Leni Werner and Susan Carlson. Emily Taylor teaches this method, and I stumbled on a free online class.

[KarenUSA in reply to greaterexp]

I’ll search these out, thanks.

You have discovered a new talent! That is wonderful!!

[greaterexp in reply to mrsmike9]

I've never had one artistic bone in my body. I'm always so amazed when anything turns out.

[mrsmike9 in reply to greaterexp]

Bah. I don't believe that. Not everyone can do what you have done! Beautiful!
