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.

UK postage is offered for free using Royal Mail Tracked 48. You can add Tracked 24 postage as an additional 'paid for' item if you need your bird gift faster.

International postage is described per item and sent via Royal Mail Tracked and Signed parcel services. It is difficult to estimate the time taken for delivery given the different processes involving customs in the country I am shipping to.

My birds are unique art works to last a life-time and to delight and inspire adult folks, young and old, through the natural world. They are not toys and are not intended for children, due to the delicate nature of and materials used in each carefully crafted creation.

I was making a life-size Kingfisher for my Dad's 80th birthday gift, and marvelling at the fact they are so much smaller as birds than we think of them. I suspect they loom larger because of just how impactful they are to see - that flash of blues and oranges with bright sparkling from the irridesence.

That led me to think about making tiny but still very detailed Kingfishers. I sat and made three tiny versions and then pondered how best to create a perch. A simple wire would not look inkeeping, as they are only ever seen in nature on branch or reed, so I developed a new way of making tiny branches and wrapped them in very fine wool thread used in weaving. A very fun session of painting and sealing the branch and the stream beneath each perch followed.

I really love all the colours on these little bird sculptures. Each is as unique as the birds and our experiences of them in real life would be.

Full description

One truly tiny but perfectly formed Kingfisher a quarter of its size in real life (1:4) handmade in wool fiber with mulberry silk details and teeny wire legs.

Mounted on its own unique tiny branch made from wool-wrapped wire, hand-painted and sealed, frozen in time as if diving with individual wing, tail and plumage feathers patterned just as in real life. The cork stopper is painted and sealed with shimmering resin to depict the water's surface.

Bird Length: 4.25cms Width: 0.9cms

Jar Diameter: 4.5cms Height: 10cms

Made using the needle-felting technique using barbed needles pushed into wool fibres, this bird has been very carefully handmade.

Designed by Jacqui Double in Whistable
