BIRDS, BIRDS, AND MORE BIRDS

I ordered this bird pattern from Patchery Menagerie this past week.  I fell in love with these little guys.  I will admit that the 40 page pattern is a bit of a challenge in the beginning.  I had my first try about half done and everything was sort of backwards.  However, I persisted and here is my first bird start. 

And a finish on him to get me on the road.

After this I learned that I had the ability to just make all sorts of different choices of size and style.  

Bird beaks took a bit of time to figure out and perfect.

So fun picking wings and breast, longer legs or shorter, wider legs or skinny, and those beaks.

So finally I think I have this down to the perfect science.  

Well so I thought.  However, note the neck of the bird is longer on this guy.  I wondered if I should just scrap it, but for some reason I like it this way.  Reminds me more of a blue jay or wood pecker.  I liked him so much I made another with the same error.  That makes it a design choice.  So I am off plowing through my batiks with combinations of wings, breasts, beaks, and legs.  There is no telling where this will go.
