I finally got around to calling the Amish yesterday to get more wool stuffing. While I'm waiting for the boxes to arrive (6 lbs. this time!), I thought I'd work on something that didn't need to be stuffed.
I'm nearly done now with birds for the show, although I would like to make more crows if I have time. I'm thinking about all the other stuff that could hang or accompany the birds in their environment in the gallery. I thought a fabric birdhouse would be cool.
I constructed this from the same super stiff pellon interfacing that I used in the flying birds' wings. That stuff is so cool, it's like cardboard. The only problem is the interfacing I have is white (maybe it comes in black?). So I painted all the edges once I cut the pieces so that they wouldn't stand out.
The roof is shingled using the same techniques as the birds' feathers. For the perch I wrapped a small branch in floral tape and then a torn fabric strip. I am hoping to hang this near the flock of crows.
You made that (!) It is so very lovely.
If you are having a stuffing emergency, you could come over and get some from me. I have more then enough for a while.
all your items are so so lovely!
