Finished printed bird and new applique piece

Hi everyone; i have final finished the printed bird collagraph. It has been stitched and quilted and a sand texture has been added using a white dye stick (unfortunately it is not that visible on the photograph)

 This next piece "time waits for no man" is couching on vintage linen. I like to get a feel for the fabric and let it inspire the piece of work it becomes. This particular piece of linen felt sad, lost and forgotten; I therefore wanted to add to this by using a image of time passing.
