With the weather improving (high today is only going to be 94) I have started working on Cha's right wing. Unfortunately, I don't like how the orange sherbet line looks and will be ripping it out tonight to replace it with a smoother version. But you can get the general idea in the above photo. I'm not sure about the tiny orange stitches at the tip of the top red feather, either....
I hope to get the wing half done tonight. Stitching with silk ribbon goes quite fast once you figure out the angles and stitches you want to work with.

Jane, what stitch is on the top wing next to the ribbon? It looks good too!
ReplyDeleteThat is diamond ray stitch, same as the pink stitches on the bird's back.
ReplyDeleteIt looked different....must be just the color!

ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot, the pink diamond rays stitches lay horizontally while the red ones lay vertically. That might make a difference!
