It's best to stitch all of the finer bits of the bird before cutting out the shape, otherwise those bits will be damaged by the presser foot.
Cut away the excess fabric/timtex before cutting out hte final bird shape.
Trim away the excess threads for the final bird shape and add additional stitching if needed.
I still need to add the eye.

A symphony of textures! Love the barbed wire in the niche - such a striking contrast to the softer texture of the stitched crow. I love what you're doing with all the levels of texture. Wonderful!
