owl and songbird progress

I  spent the fourth of july holiday way upstate sewing. It was misty and moist and super hot.

I worked on some pieces I started 2 years ago – made from antique garment linings.

I’ve also been working on some  other songbirds, I’m finishing the teal bird this evening.

And this pink girl-   also begun years ago then put away and finished lately. I guess some things need to percolate. She has a fancy  bustled bottom.
