Dancing birds - a design from nowhere in particular

This design dates from several months ago – it was a big panel and took a long time to design, digitise and stitch out. I have no idea what the inspiration for it was – I think it must have been just another vision of flying birds, which I do seem to be drawn to. It’s a big panel – something like 14 x 12 inches, and it took a long time to draw, digitise and stitch out.

The Dancing Birds

As you can see, it consists of six different large birds, each of them a separate file, all of them stitched together to make the large panel. I haven’t a clue what I’m going to do with it. It’s a bit “decorative” to go in most of the galleries and exhibitions where I show, where artier pieces are usually preferred. But I’ll mount it and frame it, and hope that it finds a home

Hi Mia, Love the subtle blue and white background that you choose for the background of your flying birds, which are all stitched out in some version of blue, thus keeping a continuity throughout the panel The variety of different fills give each bird a special personality. Thanks for sharing this Awesome panel with us. Gail

I really like this one. The background you chose gives movement to the birds. Very nice.

What fun! This scene took me instantly back to the park feeding the birds. Happy memories. How powerful to have your art work convey such an emotion!

The Dancing Birds will look beautiful mounted and framed. Love your work...keep them coming. Also, the Foxed Fox was another one of my favorites even though I missed making a comment and telling you.

Mia, it does look like someone just tossed seed down for the birds, they are all rushing in to eat. Great work!
