Bird on Dock, and Turtles

It's a whole new world when painting on fabric, so many possibilities. The latest one is Bird on Dock from J1 photo on Cedar Creek Lake in Texas.
Painted with Neon Color II  water soluble crayons, and watercolors on whole cloth cotton stabilized with wonder under. Stitching highlights water, bird feathers, and sky. Now the question - finish it as a pillow or small wall art piece???

Turtles 
I just love the colors! The turtles are painted on cotton stabilized with Misty Fuse. Background fabric is painted with SetaColors.
Pinned and ready for quilting.
Turtles are from a National Geographic Coloring book. The shells are drawn from my own shell collection.
