Add quiet elegance to your stitching with this realistic design of two small birds perched on a flowering branch. Their long curved beaks and trailing tail feathers sit beautifully among large purple and white blossoms, green leaves and brown stems, with touches of blue, red, yellow, black and grey giving the whole piece a painterly, lifelike finish. It suits anyone who likes wildlife and floral embroidery with a more refined, natural look rather than a cute or cartoon style.
With 18 thread colours and moderate density, it has enough detail to feel rich without looking heavy. It would look especially good on the back of a linen shirt, the front of a canvas tote, a denim jacket, or as the focal point on a cushion cover or framed textile piece. The range of sizes makes it easy to use as anything from a delicate accent to a full statement motif, and the curved branch shape lends itself particularly well to corners, panels and vertical placements.
