Welcome to my birding world of life-like wool-sculpted birds, where no detail is too small or feather too tiny for me to notice and recreate in fibre.
Hand-made using needlefelt techniques and incorporating ethically sourced natural materials, my birds, from their feathers to the plants that they are posed on, are made from plant and sheared animal fibres and reflect my values of sustainable making: re-use, recycle and compost back to nature.

My eldest son loves miniatures of all kinds and wanted a tiny bird as his house-warming present for a new flat. Not wanting to worry about it being lost due to its tiny size, he asked if it could be perched in something no bigger than a spice-jar. And so the tiny birds collection was born and remains one of my favourite things to make, as I now challenge myself to find a way to use all the space inside.

Full description
Seeing a flock of Long-tailed Tits: chattering, flipping, hanging upside down, investigating every leaf and constantly on the move. Once in a while, you see them still and curious, watching you as carefully as you are watching them.
Made using natural Merino and Corriedale wools and needlefelting techniques, miniature and cute, this wool bird on a tiny 1: 4 scale shyly sits on his simple scarlet garden perch, artfully showing off hand-made and individually crafted wool tail feathers and tiny wool yarn-wrapped wire claws.
A perfect small gift for a bird and nature lover, birder or that friend or family member who loves a quirky one-of-a-kind present, this fibre art work has been meticulously scaled down from life-size whilst keeping the essential characteristic plumage details of the species and the inner-being of these little avian bundles of fun. Perfectly safe enclosed in their tiny glass jar, they can sit on desk or shelf as a tiny feast for the eyes.
Delivered in its own re-purposed parcel tube, carefully nestled in recycled packing materials via Royal Mail tracked 48hr postage in the UK at no extra charge.
Inspired by plant and bird illustrators of the past, I aim to be zoologically representative with all my bird sculptures and botanically precise with any plants included as part of their scenic mounts.
Dimensions:
Bird Length: 3.5cms Height: 1.5cms Width: 0.75cms
Glass jar Diameter: 4.5cms Height: 10cms including cork base
