So,it is not finished yet. Still have the beak, eyes and feet to do, plus the title. The author is a dear friend of mine and I am making this as a Surprise!!! :)

Any constructive critics would be welcome!!

How do you thread paint? Never heard of it before but that is gorgeous

Isn't this simply another embroidery technique?

Very pretty! I've tried and didn't do nearly as well!

Beautiful, it's really coming along great! I'm not a thread painter (yet! ...barely a FMQer), but in looking at the picture I see what other posters mean by shadow and depth. Pale gray & slightly darker blue gray for wing depth? Have you considered a jet bead for the eye? That's what always strikes me about doves,their eyes are so shiny black & I don't know --intelligent. As if they're going to say, "yes, we are often God's messengers"!

Nice. I just got done with my DH AF quilt. I thought it was fun and challenging.
