I'll probably stitch metallic turquoise and gold threads on the wings. Interestingly, I find that the back of the wings looks better than the front, so that may become the front when I mount them. Organza is interesting to work in since you can see the back as you draw the thread through, and you have to take account of that visibility and avoid drawing threads across where they will be seen.
I might end up stitching back and front, to make the wings two- sided. And once I get the wings completed, I may carry the motif of turquoise over to the body, too.
Next little animal will be either a bee or a turtle. We'll see.
Looking forward to seeing this little fellow all assembled! Bee/turtle - hmmm - I'm voting turtle.
