The kingfisher wall hanging follows on from the water theme Under the Sea which we did two years ago. This time we have taken inspiration from the beautiful colours of the kingfisher in all its glory.  We have used some textured fabrics to add depth to the overall effect adding a little bit of shimmer to the tail of the bird.

You will see the picture is not quite finished but the design features the kingfisher on a branch over the river, surrounded by the flowers and bullrushes.  Quality of fabrics is a key factor to make the whole design come alive adding to the overall effect.  Complete the design using black thread and free motion stitch around the applique shapes to add definition.  Beads, ribbon and wool create the movement of the river.
