I finished the Two Birds stumpwork embroidery project. I'm quite happy with it. :) I really like the flowers at the bottom.

The birds were a little experiment in stumpwork. Most modern stumpwork focuses on realism, but I wanted something more fanciful for this project, so my birds have mostly satin stitches. I stitched them on a separate piece of fabric, which I sewed to my background fabric and stuffed a bit. They have a nice padded effect.

This project is inspired by paper cuttings and Valentine's Day, of course!
