Progress, Progress!

I am having a very enjoyable time stitching Zippy.  I just wish the colours would come through better on the pictures because they're really lovely.  I'll try taking a picture in the sunshine at some point, maybe that'll help.  There's a bit of a funky yellow hue that's not there in real life.

Maybe I should mention that as this is a hummingbird, there are lots of blending filament threads that will be added afterwards to give him that hummingbird glisten.
