bird-a-month: january

Oh, birdy... my old friend! I was flipping through an old children's book the other day and those waves popped out at me: lovely, artful, and just a touch of menacing. I knew they'd find their way into one of my stitchies some day... and today was it! I'm contemplating a year-long project with these birdies - I'm planning one per month (that I can maybe turn into a calendar for next year?). Without further ado, meet January: dark, cold, and with storms looming.



For more in this series, check out: February, March, April (coming soon!)

  4. a once-a-month project that turns into next year's calendar? BRILLIANT! if you offered it for sale (like through lulu.com or something) i'd be awfully tempted to purchase my own copy. i do so love your birdies.
