Pattern Details

This pattern uses a 68 × 67 bead grid with 1,777 beads and 18 listed colors. It is marked as Medium difficulty.

How-To and Use Case Notes

How-To: Start by placing the black outline beads to define the shapes of both birds and the branch. Fill in the bodies using shades of yellow and grey, taking extra care with the small orange cheek spots and wing patterns. Use tweezers for the tiny facial details and crest feathers.
Use Case: Makes a lovely desk display, wall art piece, or a gift for a bird lover. Because of the long tails and crests, iron evenly on both sides to prevent warping.

FAQ

What pegboard works best for this design?

A standard large square interlocking pegboard will fit both birds comfortably.

Do I need a lot of different colors?

You will need a few shades of yellow/cream for the left bird, a few shades of grey/white for the right bird, black for outlines, orange for the cheeks, and brown for the branch.
