Digitizing Challenge of a bird from supplied clip art...not my choice, but had to send an entry...I tried to make the best of what I call an ugly bird! I decided to go with a Valentine Mug Rug ITH...would not have been my choice of artwork, but did not have a choice! It turned out okay, and I learned quite a bit about contour stitches...I have also posted the "ugly bird" clip art I had to use!!! Thanks for looking...

Great challenge! you did a great job! I love the challenges and love to see the different ways the bird has been digitize. where can we see them?

Thank you...my classes are a webinar series with Trevor Conquergood from Sunset Stitches...

The graphic has strong lines that jus make the bird look a little harsh. Regardless how it looked at the start, your stitchout is fabulous! Yesterday, I went to the shop where I got my Destiny2 recently ftind out how to use it's scanner to create designs. I now have a greatly increased respect for the amount of work you spent creating this design!

Awesome work done..Gorgeous!!!

Thanks, Sonja...

Your digitized version is wonderful. I agree that would not have been my first choice of clip art to use....his expression looks like someone shot him in the rear with a rubber band!! lol Yours will definitely make a very nice Valentine card.

You did a great job on that bird. The contour stitches look very nice, especially in the wings.

Not a bad outcome. You glamorized the ugly bird. Love the bead look around the edge.
