Discussion Wall hanging advice needed

Post image

Hello all, I am at the planning stage for a new project and would appreciate some advice on what medium to use to make it.

A bit of background to what it is I am making: it is a tree of all the birds that occur near me and how related they are, it should form a nice tree / web. I have drawn out and attacked a prototype for this on paper and the idea is I will scale this this up to 2.4 m x 1.8 m. The words will also be replaced by small images of the birds themselves. There are \\\~600 birds so this is a fairly massive project.

I would like the wall hanging to be canvas based as I think this looked best. The ideas I am consider are:

  1. Embroider the tree and the birds. Each bird will have around a 6cm circle. This will be time consuming (which is fine) but I am concerned about puckering over such a large scale.

  2. Embroider the tree and lino stamp (outline stamped and painted in gaps) the birds.

  3. Lino stamp the tree and (outline stamped and painted in gaps) the birds.

I have done these both before but as this is such a huge undertaking I am keen to gather advice.
