Bird on Branch with Leaves and Berries

July 2, 2014 1 Comment

This adorable bird perched on a branch with leaves and berries is an embroidery design from Cassell’s Household Guide, Volume I, circa 1869. The bird image is Fig. 2 referred to in the paragraph below, copied from the book:

“The design given in Fig. 2 is one which may be applied to almost any article, and in combination with flowers, or an ornamental border if desired. The eye of the bird will be formed by a single bead, and the beak, legs, claws, and some of the feathers, should be worked in silk embroidery. If in this, or any other design for fish-scale embroidery, brilliant colour be desired, it may be obtained by using the scales of various kinds of fishes; or more conveniently still by tinting the scales, before they are sewn on, with the bright, transparent varnish-colours described in our preceding article on Fans, and how to make them (page 305, vol. ii.).” fish scale embroidery design, bird on branch, vintage bird clip art, black and white clipart, Victorian embroidery patternClick on image to enlarge.
