American Kestrel

This is probably the hardest picture I have ever worked on. It has well over 750 pieces and is approximately 41"x18".

One of the challenges I encountered while working on this picture was trying to create atmospheric perspective with fabric. I ended up solving this problem using progressively lighter fabrics for the mountains and many layers of tulle.

Also, the bird depicted is my namesake, so it was fun to finally make a kestrel in fabric.
