small bird in mustard yellow

December 27, 2007

A new small bird, in mustard yellow.

The flock of small birds. 

I just scored a whole set of new paddle punches on eBay that I’m pretty excited about. My poor leaf-shaped Sizzix is all dented now. The head kept flying off the hammer you’re supposed to use and nearly knocked me in the face so I’ve resorted to using a regular hammer with a metal head instead of a plastic one.  And the cutting mat it came with is all warped so I started using a different one until I punched leaf-shaped holes in it. Whoops. 

Feathers!

    Wow that’s a lot of feathers. They look real cool all standing next to each other like that.

    I think right now the mustard is my favorite of this series, until you make another one of course…
