A third bird. This one is shorter than the rest and has blue eyes. I loved using this vintage floral fabric for the wings, head gusset, and tail feathers. Her legs are wrapped with strips of a thrifted pillowcase. I think I have the wire thing down now. This ones legs were not frustrating to form at all and she stood up right away.
The countdown is on until my show. My postcards are here. I think I can probably make a few more toys before I have to start getting everything else ready, including listing everything in my shop, wrapping boxes for toys to sit on, labeling everything and all that good stuff.
these all have such wonderful personality! each one so different from the other. great, great work.
Your birds are beautiful – and so inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
this one is my favorite!
i love the floral fabric and the detail on the tail and wings – beautiful!
good luck with the show – i’m sure it will be great!
The blue eyes and the colorful fabric are stunning. What a lovely collection you’ve got going.
Did the cards turn out?! I wonder if there is a good tutorial out there for using wires in creations. I’ve been wondering how its done.
The tailfeathers – truly, you are an amazing creative.
Il est magnifique, comme les deux autres, mais je préfère celui-là 😉
I have to say that I admire your birds very much. They are beautiful!
