There are hundreds of varieties of birds, each with different significances and symbolic associations. The bird that you choose to use to decorate a piece of fabric, material, or a garment depends on the kind of message that you want that item to present to the viewer. Designs of embroidered birds can be large or small, ornate or simple, and as colorful or as plain as you like. There is almost no limit to the designs you can choose for your favourite clothing or household items.
Our daily encounters with birds are usually only very brief. They are delicate and fragile creatures, sometimes appearing in your backyard if you have a bird-feeder, or perching on your window sill. To capture them for longer, you can have their shapes reproduced on fabric and other materials, so that you are able enjoy them whenever you please. Embroidery is a craft that is extremely delicate and ornate, and is therefore perfect for capturing birds as they appear to us. Embroidered birds are a beautiful addition to any item you might wish to embellish.
You can have birds from many different countries around the world on any decorative or household linen. All that is required is your chosen design and a company that is willing and able to have this design embroidered onto your desired item. Embroidered birds are an excellent way to add a dowd-played and subtle sophistication to accent pieces. For example, you might choose to have birds embroidered onto an item such as pillows for a bed or kitchen and bathroom hand towels. Citizens of the United States might choose to have items embroidered with the bird that represents the state in which they live. Alternatively, you can have a bird motif embroidered onto large items, such as a quilt or drapes. The design can be of any bird you wish.
Humming birds are a popular design to be embroidered onto an item or garment. These embroidered birds are often very fine and delicate. They are also highly colorful: humming-birds come in a variety of bright colors. They are often depicted with colorful flowers. Garments and items for very young children, particularly for girls, are often embroidered with baby birds. The most commonly used embroidered birds are bright yellow chicks or ducklines, as well as baby swans (cygnets).
Items might have only one baby bird on them, or a whole clutch of them. A popular design is of a mother bird with four or five chicks. Embroidered birds can also be used to indicate a particular theme. For example, chicks are associated with Easter, whilst the robin is associated with Christmas. You might choose to have an item to be given for one of these holidays embroidered with an appropriate design for that holiday to make it more special.
Embroidered birds patterns can be used to embroider tea towels, cases for eye-glasses, pillow-cases, and other linens. Birds are a popular choice for embroidering bed linen as they are often delicate and beautiful, making them perfect for this kind of item.
