Bird Canvas (waterbased paint, weaving thread, sharpie, wrapping straw)

I love to make canvas paintings and prints, but I am not great at drawing. Solution... add simple patterns with varying materials to make a simple drawing more interesting. I painted the base for this in one pre-work day and sewed about one or two rows of stitching a day so it took me a little more than a week of pre-work days. The process for this is slow because the tough canvas makes seewing hard on the fingers.
