The water lily is done. I cut out 4 green felt for lily pads and yesterday I stitched around the pads. I am going to make a pin and you can take it out of the fabric background.
We rode our bikes around Middleton and we saw a hawk on the ground eating a dead animal. I got off of the bike and tried to get close up. I was careful and brave to take good pictures of the hawk. I was lucky that the hawk didn't attack me. I know it was dangerous to get too close.
This is the water lily that I took at the Olbrich Botanical Garden last month. It rained that day and I had a umbrella with me to take some pictures. You can see alot of rain drops on the water lily photo. Here is my photo that I cut up pieces for my drawing.
I made a few mistakes with the colors of the beads so I had to take them apart and start again.
This is my last progress picture. I have been working on it this weekend and the project is almost complete.
