Bird on a branch embroidery bag

And another shoulder bag. Same as before - natural linen as outer fabric, beautiful cotton for the lining (Black Damask from Lost & Found collection by Riley Blake Designs) and bird on a branch in front. It took me few days to finish it. The bird and the branch are painted with textile paints (iron set), the flower petals are thread painted (free hand, using darning foot) with various colours of Madeira Rayon thread. The flower centers and also painted and the details are hand embroidered. I have to say that the effect is really gorgeous:

The bag is now listed in my SHOP.

I nastepny torebka. Tym razem z ptaszkiem na galezi. Material zewnetrzny to jak zwykle naturalny len, a podszewka to Black Damask z kolekcji Lost & Found od Riley Blake Designs. Zrobienie samej aplikacji zajelo mi duzo czasu. Ptaszek i galaz sa malowane farbami do tkanin (utrwalonymi zelazkiem), a kwiaty sa wyszyte blyszczacymi nicmi (wyszywalam je roznymi kolorami nici uzywajac stopki do pikowania). Srodki kwiatow sa tez pomalowane, a detale wyszywalam recznie. Przyznaje sie bez bicia, ze efekt przeszedl moje oczekiwania :)
