Petals in Passing

Perched lightly among a cloud of pink cherry blossom, the long-tailed tit rests as spring unfolds around it. Petals drift and branches hum with life, the bird’s soft form echoing the delicacy of the blooms — a fleeting, perfect harmony between feather and flower.
 
Several techniques and mediums were used in the creation of this piece. The background is fabric painted and the Long Tailed Tit, flowers, and leaves were achieved through quilting, applique, embroidery, and textile techniques.
