Fine juniper needles sit below the golden eagle's much larger feather fans. Download the embroidery pattern for eight blue berries in three unequal groups, two extended feet and the supporting rock shelf.
How are the berries placed in the juniper?
The eight berries sit in three unequal groups. They are compact rounded areas within the finer needle structure, not a continuous decorative band beneath the eagle.

Bird and setting
Golden Eagle Above the Juniper Shelf pairs a broad flight pose with closely observed botanical detail. Work the rock and juniper crossings first, then keep both airborne feet and every outer feather tip clear of the shelf.
Feathers, contours and small details
