This is my 'Bluebird of Happiness" for Challenge 38. Materials: 100% Cotton background fabric, screen print with dye paste and over dyed with fabric paint. Fused silk accents. Bird printed on blue polyester chiffon and hand stitched to background. Simple hand quilting and embroidery with silk thread and seed bead eye. Machine overcast edging. 4"x6" postcard.

Adorable! Nice compostion and I love the silk accents.
Nicely done.
Hi Candy - This is a very attractive little piece. I particularly like the hand-stitching you've added. It adds some nice texture along with the various fabrics you've used. Cool!
Hi Candy, This is lovely...love the bird and the stitching around it. My only comment is about the value contrast between the elements and the background...it may have been more effective to have a lighter background so the bird pops. Great ideas and techniques!

I like the softness of this piece. The stitching adds much to color and texture.
