My favorite section of used book stores (well, any book store really…) is the one full of old, random craft books. I recently found Birds and Animals in Cross-Stitch – a book of birds, butterflies, and the assorted mammal (including a koala).
My in-laws are avid bird-watchers, so I thought they would like a rendition of this cedar waxwing.
I framed it in a traditional wooden frame to lend to its ornithological feeling.
What do you think? I’m inspired to find more life-like cross-stitch patterns; perhaps a set of mounted butterflies next?
