Bush Beauties

Sequins, beads and an array of embroidery stitches are used to create these spectacular hooped studies of the colourfully crested Major Mitchell’s cockatoo and the elegant, superb lyrebird.

Worked onto a cotton ground with stranded cotton threads, each bird is filled with areas of stitching that cleverly create interest and a variety of textures, and are further embellished with a selection of sparkling sequins and glass beads.
