Chickadee on the Queen Anne's Lace

Now that I have this finished I would do it again on a background with a little more contrast. This fabric, while sympathetic with the theme required a little intervention to balance.

In order to give better contrast I darkened the flower parts a little more than natural. It already had so many layers of thread I used a brown pen to highlight. And then I use a black to bring up the legs. Surprisingly the eye doesn't show in this photo. It has a presence as a grey ring.

But this little guy is cute. I'm undecided yet how much framing I will give it. Definitely a dark line to define the edge, but maybe more.
