Looking at Stitching

 

Looking closely at the embroidery of this little bullfinch. She is surrounded by the parts that make the doll whole. With her cab, wings and tail sitting on the fabric that will make her dress. She has the new bird feet too!
The feather like stitch is an adapted fly stitch that I run to look like a feather pattern. Her that is in both black and grey. The pink stitching is random cross stitch in three shades layered to give such a rich look. The colours are chosen to sit somewhere between the make and female colouring to give a wholesome bullfinch feel.
I particularly like the pinks, greys and black with this Acufactum fabric called Blossom Splendour with rich dahlias and nasturtiums in deep pink and orange.
Each bird has a crystal to her heart and herbs in her stuffing to give a gentle scent. This little girl has rosemary and a piece of rose quartz for love xx
