These hummingbirds are pieces I have worked on for a new gown. This is separate to my main collection that’s in progress – sometimes you just get inspired and have to do something completely different, and appliqué is how I’ve done it this time!
They each took about 2.5 hours – hand binding lace is REALLY fiddly for someone with man-hands! Wishing I had the fingers of a Japanese woman!
I think hummingbirds are the most incredible animal, next to T-Rex!!
