Separate 2 threads from black floss. Embroider mouth and nostrils (pic 7-8).

The beak can be left as is, but for more believability, you can shade the black paint over the tip.

To do this, prepare the paint and slightly dilute it with water. Then dry the brush, dip it in black paint and paint the tip of the beak. Then draw in the diluted paint and brush it on the beak. Be careful not to use too much paint.

Insert a needle with a long piece of brown yarn (without knots) at point g. Bring the needle out with one end of the yarn at point b, leaving the other end of the yarn at point g. Insert the needle at point a and exit at point g. Make one knot.

Lightly tighten the knots, play with the shape. Try putting the beak between the eyes and choose a version of shaping that you like. Don’t tighten too much so you don’t get hollows in the head. Make another control knot on both sides. cut the yarn and hide the yarn tails.

Embroider with orange floss iris as shown in the pic 20-21. Using black floss, embroider the eyelid as shown in pic 20-21. Install the beak with pins and sew it on.

Wings assembly and wiring (excerpt):

Step 8 loops away from the cacao feathers and place pins. Insert the wire into the body (in places with pins), inserting one end on one side and taking it out on the other (pic 67-68). Install pins in the wings at the fold, 4 rows from magic ring (pic 73). Measure the wing from the pin to the corner with the first feather (pic 69) (I had 5cm/1,96" ). Cut off the resulting value at both ends, adding 2cm/0,7" on each side to wrap the ends. Wrap the wire with brown yarn and glue in one thin layer (pic 70-72). Put the wings on the wire (pic 74-75). Thread the brown yarn into the needle and make a knot at one end. Fasten the wire in the corner of the wing (see pic 76-78). Thread the yarn with the needle through double crochets (pic 79). Sew the wings to the body where the wires are installed (pic 81).

The wings are ready! Now the hardest part is making sure the bird doesn’t fly away!

Embroider the lines with blue yarn and fix it with blue thread (from floss) to hide the "stages" (pic 94-96).

On the left is a picture that I used to embroider the letter on the house crest. Add brightness on the screen to maximum, enlarge or reduce the picture so that the size of the letter will be approx. 2.5 cm (1 inch) high. Attach a water soluble cross stitch canvas on it and circle the picture with a pencil (pic 97).

Fix the canvas to the right lower side of the house crest with the needle for cutting (pic 98). Get 2 threads of orange thread floss and embroider the outline of the letter using the seam «backstitch» (pic 99). Then embroider the inside of the letter with fill stitches (pic 100).

Rinse the embroidery under running water and gently peel off the canvas with your fingers (pic 101).

Place the crest on the tablecloth and secure with pins in the corners (pic 102). Cut approx 20cm/7,8" bronze yarn and join it to the house crest with the hook from both sides (pic 103-104).

Scarf

Use: blue yarn, hook 1.75; bronze yarn, needle

1r: 5ch, turning, 4sc (4)

2-100r: 1ch, turning, 4sc (4).

Use pins to mark the location of the stripes (pic 105). For the stripes to be at an equal distance, fold the scarf 2-3-4 times (pic 106), depending on its length. Thread the bronze yarn into the needle and make a knot on one of the ends. Pick the wrong side of the scarf yourself and insert the needle into the center, next to the pin. Insert the needle carefully without piercing the scarf. Make two turns (pic 106-107), wrapping the scarf. Take the needle out in the center of the wrong side. Step back two rows and make two more turns around the scarf (pic 109-110). Step back about 10 rows and make the next turn next to the pin. Repeat all steps next to each pin. Fasten the yarn and cut it off (pic 111).

Cut 8 strands of blue yarn 6cm/2.4" long for the fringe (pic 112-116).
