The real snow goose's eye
A quilted fabric eye ......... but it needs something
So some yarn was added first to the eyelid (I know birds don't have eyelids but in my fabric world they do)
Then to the bottom of the eye and I like it better.
Today I'll do the binding since it is snowing/ sleeting with blustery cold winds and I'm not going anywhere.
I can show you the finish next week
Today's game plan

Snow Goose
19"x16"
For sale in my etsy shop here
Snow geese visit Vermont in the late fall on their way south. If you have ever seen and heard a flock lifting off, you will never forget it. The word cacophony and awe inspiring comes to mind.
Here is a link to the sounds on a video but is one of those things you really have to be there.
I won't take you through the whole process of making the goose but I just want to point out how much any portrait comes alive with just adding a dab of white paint to the eye.
Such a difference!
