Birdhouse in your soul



Like I promised here is the second in my seirs of embroidered pictures based on music.  This was one of my favorite songs in highschool it's called a Birdhouse in your soul by they might be gaints.  So far this is the largest piece I have completed it took me about 6 months to finish and many times I walked away from it, but now it has become one of my favorites. 
I'm posting a few extra pic's of this one since it was so large.

An octopus's garden


Recently I have been working on embroidered pictures that were inspired by music.  This one is completely finished and is waiting to be framed.  This is the first one I have ever made and was based on the beetles song an octopus's garden.  I hand colored it with color pencils and water although I have been trying out different mediums because while this works I think I can do better.  I have two more that are done which I will be posting later on.  But until then if anyone has any suggestions on good songs that would be great.  I'm taking a break from it for the minute because nothing has come to me as of yet.  Plus I have lots of other projects which need finished and started.
