I stitched the great blue heron in 150 and 110 seed beads, layering them to add dimension to the bird’s wings and the floating log. I also edged three sides of the beadwork with tiny fringes. After beading the 4 x 6-in. (10 x 15 cm) panel, I stitched the beadwork onto a canvas and painted the extended environment to expand the piece to 8 x 10 in. (20 x 25 cm).
