My Hummingbird is made from elements in two different cross-stitch patterns.  I simplified the colors down to 2 shades of each color used.  I used off-white ceylon pearl seed beads for the background, and the bird & flower are all silverlined beads (except the black) in clear & matte finishes.  The background is #11 off-white ceylon pearl seed beads, and except for the black beads, all the beads in the bird & flower are silverlined, to stand out from the background.  Some of the silverlined beads are matte-finished, like the clear ones used for the hummingbird’s belly.

I made up a suncatcher/wall hanging from this pattern.  After finishing the basic design on the loom, I took it off and added the triangular section at the bottom & expanded the top for a hanging loop using square stitch, and finished it off with a fringe.  The hanger is a piece of floral wire with two rosette beads glued on the ends, all painted with gold leaf paint. 

Here's a picture of the finished piece:
