You've created nother gorgeous piece of free-flowing fabric art. Early congratulations - you will SURELY win prizes with this beauty in the future!

Wow! A true work of art. Good luck at the show.

Thanks everyone. :-D :-D :-D

Omak seagulls get a really bad press round here. The tourists feed them and then they make a real nuisance of themselves, stealing food from kids' hands and doing their business everywhere. There are warning signs all over Lyme Regis, which is a beautiful town and beach near where I live, with the picture of a gull titled "Public Enemy Number One" and asking not to feed them (which of course you shouldn't!) They do keep the streets clean of spilled ice cream and fries though. :mrgreen:

And they're just a bird at the end of the day, doing their bird thing as nature intended! For me who lived in the centre of France, miles from the sea for 5 years, the cry of a gull combined with the smell of sea air is just the BEST thing! :D :D :D

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, oh wow, what a beautiful piece! And what a lot of small cutting work that had to be done. I can almost hear this gull "calling". Love it!

That is incredible, along with being beautiful.

Your work always amazes me-yet another stunning one!

How amazing! You did a great job!

Just beautiful!!!

I grew up on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. I totally know seagulls <g> ...
I was used to seagulls going inland when there was a storm (one of our indicators, if you will) ...
Imagine my surprise when we moved east of the mountains, into the high desert and there are TONS of seagulls up here, too! (my surprise was not the pleasant kind, either)
some bright-eyed dreamer decided they were endangered and these birds live here quite nicely - - on the seeds we plant in our fields to feed people and cattle ... it is really awful to watch the planters out in the fields with the seagulls swarming their seed beds, with nothing these people can do to protect their crops.
oh, well ... someday, those endangered species may be the only food supply we will have, so I suppose I should be glad they are well-fed, eh? LOL <wave>
