Stitched Origami Swan

This was my first encounter with stitching, I finished it a long time ago but finally put it up. I love the geometric look of origami shapes and decided to stitch an origami swan graphic on canvas, since the canvas fabric is thicker, it took a bigger needle and lots of pressing to get it done. I've had that colorful embroidery thread for years, I'm glad I used it all. =)
