Can somebody digitize this "Auk-seabird" for me please.

Beautiful work!!!

amazing vicki bless you...soozie

Wow, Vicki! Your digitization of this magnificent seabird has captured all its features so well, it appears lifelike, as in the picture Sigrun posted. I admire your skills in digitizing, and I must say I do not think anyone can surpass the job you did on this! When I saw Sigrun's request and the pic of the Auk, my first thought was, "Oh, man, what a task to replicate THAT in stitches!" My hat if off to you, and if I was giving out awards, you'd get "1st Place" most definitely!!
Hugs, Angel

Vicki, How in the world do you start the digitizing for this? You make feathers look like feathers! I think I need to stitch it out just to observe your sequencing. This bird is beautiful. Thanks for making it for Sigrun so now we can all enjoy it!

Vicki, this bird is just so incredible! You did a beautiful job and it will be fun to see the stitch out! He's beautiful.

I've never heard of this bird - so will have to take time later and read about it - thanks!

2 days ago i didn't know what an Auk-seabird was. Thank you Sigrun and Vicki for giving us the history of this bird and for the great design. Can't wait to see how Sigrun uses it in her project.

Another great story here on Cuties! I appreciate reading this and learning and then seeing all the love and talent come together. Thank you all for posting and spreading warmth and joy. Wow!

So sorry I did not see your request until just now, Sigrun, but Vicki has done an amazing job for you.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

Sigrun...so sorry it has taken me so long to answer...I didn't want to commit until I knew I could do this majestic bird justice...I have completed your request and I will put it up on DBC as Wednesday's freebie, unless you need it sooner...
I read the article on this bird and it sickened me that once again, man ended another species, so I had to do this design!! Thanks for requesting it!!
Hope you like it, Sigrun and hope all will enjoy having this once beautiful living creature....Vicki

Excellent design. Sigrun is going to be delighted you were able to do this for her.

Thank you so much, Vicki! I knew I couldn't do this beautiful bird justice, but you certainly did. She deserves to be remembered, as a warning that we should never destroy another species!

I don't know where the picture came from but it might be copy righted!

by sigrun 17 Aug 2012

I do not think so,the image is from the Natural History museum of Iceland and anyone can use them as I was told.

This is rather more complicated than I'd attempt, but it is a lovely drawing. It's such a shame we have lost so many species to our own greed. This lovely Auk deserves to have his memory preserved. Hugs, Marji
