Fowl Beginnings

Well this was indeed a challenging theme Vicki.  So to get going I began to think of beginnings.  What came to mind initially was a collage; a collage showing all the various beginnings of trees.  I envisioned the start of a maple tree, an oak tree, a ginko, but couldn't find the seed for a ginko.  So I began again.  Call it another beginning if you like.

I was quickly running out of time.  Then I started to get the seed of a Beginning.  Stay with me now.  I gathered some of this;

some wool roving and some of this...

                      fur that had feather like pieces. 

I sewed this into a circle, but it wasn't turning out the way I had envisioned.  But then I found some of this...

a decorative yarn that I had stashed away

 

I added this to the circle but it kept getting caught on the sewing machine foot.  Tracing paper helped to keep it in place while I zig-zagged it and tore away the paper, like this.

Are you beginning to get the picture? No? 

 

How about some additional embellishments?

 

 

Okay so I added some appliqued leaves, some, FMQ, and I finally had my Fowl Beginning.

 

Thank you Vicki this one was fun.
