Advanced Goldwork

The 4th Technique for the RSN Diploma is Goldwork.  I have chosen to represent a Golden Eagle, whom I have named Freya after the Golden Eagle chick which was satellite tagged on Springwatch.

Faux leather in gold and rose gold edged with Pearl Purl. Gold Plate for her talons and the start of chipwork at he base of her legs. And that's as far as I got when I came to end of my Intensive. Will carry on on my own and return for a couple of days with Tracy in October.
