Kantha Embroidery motifs

Few months back I have participated in the Kantha embroidery SAL of Anita of artistic fingers.  And today I am here to show you the motif which I have embroidered during that SAL.  I am not satisfied with the color of the threads and the stitching of the bird portion(bottom).  But I am happy that I have learned some basics in Kantha embroidery.  Click on the image to get more closer view.

Some closeups.

HERE you can see how beautifully Anita had stitched the body of the bird.  I should try it again.

Thanks Anita for the wonderful SAL.
