>Holiday Red Bird

>

I must've been in the holiday spirit today, because I got out all my red beads. I made a beaded Cardinal pin! Cardinals are one of my favourite birds all year round, and I have been meaning to make one for awhile. Also, he took me awhile to make - 5 hours of beading! I used red 1/2 bugle beads I found when I was in London, as well as a mix of Japanese size 11 & size 15 seed beads. I also used some black wire to attach a real tree branch! I think I like how he turned out, so I'll probably bead more birds in this style.

Bead embroidery on felt. 3" tall x 1-1/4" wide (7.5 cm x 3.5cm).

Available for sale at The Lone Beader's Gallery Shop.

This bird is now available for sale at my Etsy shop!
