Well I am not sure if it was thrilled but it certainly looked a lot better!!!!Apart from needing its beak straightening, I felt that it lacked a little something.
Having been inspired by MarmaladeRose on her blog, where she has used free machining to great effect on her felted pictures and raw applique, I decided this was the answer.
I like the result. And.... following MarmaladeRose's clever idea, I am showing you the wrong side of the pic so that you can see exactly where the stitching went.
I am hoping that, tomorrow, Wipso will help me with my dumfy bird tutorial as mentioned in my previous post. We will have a fun day Monday come what may!!!!!
Thanks for popping in - and thanks for the encouraging comments - they really help!
