Painted Swans, stitched




I have finished the swans that I showed the other day.
I used WonderFil Rayon threads for the stitching, a bit of blue metallic under the birds. I used a variegated WonderFil Accent thread for the trees in the foreground.
For a first attempt I'm quite pleased with the results.
I look forward to your comments.

Hi Rhoda - This is so beautiful. Your painting captures your subjects so well and the thread work pulls it all together. Carry on!

Hi Rhoda,

This piece is very nice. Love the relections in the pond playing off of the swans and the soft background. Thanks for sharing
