Spooky Shoebill

I don't know about you, but my social media feeds are full of interesting animals and the Shoebill Stork is one of my favorites. I particularly love the way they seem to "glare" at you, so they were perfect for a spooky season stitch! 

The model is stitched on 40 count "Elixir" linen from xJudesign. (It's a mottled fabric but my estimate of the closest DMC equivalent is 502/647 with darker and lighter variegation.) Stitch count is 99 wide x 132 high.
