I finally got started with my BJP for February. The background is a piece of snow dyed cotton. The bird is stenciled with a self cut stencil.
Ik ben eindelijk aan mijn journaaltje voor februari begonnen. De achtergrond is sneeuwgeverfde katoen. De vogel is gestencild met een zelfgesneden sjabloon.
I wanted to surround the bird with blossoms, but didn't know how to start. Then, one day, I saw this spring green wool and knew how to get the look I was looking for. I've loosely arranged the wool around the bird and I'm beading blossoms and leaves.
Ik wilde de vogel omringen met bloesems, maar wist niet hoe te beginnen. Tot ik op een dag deze lentegroene wol zag. Ik heb de wol losgetrokken en om de vogel gelegd. Ik gebruik het nu als basis om met kralen bloesems en blaadjes te maken.
A little more progress.
Weer een beetje verder.

Cobi!!! This is wonderful! I love your stencil- just beautiful and it is wonderful to let the beautiful fabric show thru!! Can't wait to see it finished my friend!!!
Oh, Cobi - I just love this! The fabric is wonderful wonderful wonderful! And the bird is great - looks like he or she is all puffed up keeping warm. And I love the way you're beading the blossoms. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished piece!
The colors in the snow dyed cotton are beautiful and using the green wool for the flowers is so natural, like it belongs. Your beaded flowers are so pretty and delicate. I've decided to try and learn a fabric art/embellishing and your work is such an inspirition to me, I love how you put various fabrics and colors together!
