The Eagle

I've started the eagle and think I've reverse hooked 25% of the loops hooked in.  Either the color didn't seemed right, thought it needed more color variation or something.  The arrow feathers at the bottom I tried hooking in a narrow cut with two rows of each color but didn't like that.  So decided to go for the 8.5 with one row instead.  Took the pattern off the frame for the photo before the tail feathers were completed
The binding process of the Deer Torso rug has begun while watching The Five and the drudgery of the task doesn't seem quite as bad.  Will take a few more shows before it is complete.

Spring was stalled here as this area had below freezing temps recently.  But at least there was no snow.  

It's a slim picking post but at least it's something.  Happy hooking, knitting or stitching.
