ROOSTER HEAD

Did not expect to post twice in the same day but thought since time is allowing me this gift then I should take advantage of it.  

Here you will see the tissue paper drawing over the pieces of fabric I chose to construct this Rooster's head.  Once I am happy with them I fuse them down on my black teflon sheet.

I finished his head and now will start with the feathers....I will not fuse this onto my background until completely finished but like to pin it on to keep it safe overnight and to see how it will contrast with it.  Remember that once quilted all these shadows will blend in a bit better then raw like this.  I am happy with it so far.

Fusing

Working on fusing the major parts of this bird.  I hope to add the details in today and then most of the shading will be done with thread.  Lots of quilting on this sweet fellow.
