WIP Red Crow
The madder lac dyed silk organza is much darker than these photos depict, the stencil sketch of the crow barely peaking through due to the lighting. I managed to stitch an outline of the crow in a coordinating reddish heathered wool thread from Aurifil Threads.
I've decided that this smallish piece will now become part of a larger piece I'm working on for my upcoming solo show, as crows and ravens have always been a prominent icon out here on the western prairie and plains.
