Avocet, water rail, dandelion head and fieldfare- looking back through my sketchbook and drawing onto calico with a gel pen. Free machine stitching and a wash of water to make the ink bleed a little.
I was trying to be really brave, free and sketchy- something I saw at an exhibition reminded me to try the same technique I used when drawing feathers last year.
wow, your stitched sketches are so alive! especially love the water rail with the red beak
