Rushing of Wings

So, you know how cool it is to look up and see a thousand little birds flocking together in the air, wings rushing as one, making the sound of a wind? This piece is the first of the Vortex series, which inspired by vortexes of birds in the sky. Hundreds of french knots and straight stitches create the pieces in this series.
