Lately I have been visiting antique shops and malls and I have been drawn to all the vintage handkerchiefs. They are so delicate and detailed and sometimes personal. I worked on this with these handkerchiefs in mind. The bird itself is appliquéd to the stretched fabric, stuffed with batting, and then hand embroidered. The stretched fabric is folded and hand sewn in place.
