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 my bird feathers and the plants that the birds come posed on are all made by me using plant and sheared animal fibres, ethically sourced and sustainably used.
I have lots of exciting ideas for bird making this year which are setting my needles aquiver with anticipation.
To kick the year off, I am offering you, for the first time on Folksy, a chance to commission whichever Tiny Bird might make your heart thrill, mounted in an adorable dainty bell jar. I'll explain more in the listing itself, but do plan to purchse ahead of time if you have a tiny bird gift in mind for someone or at sometime special. Each one takes several hours to complete, longer if you want to add botanical elements into the design.
Right now, I am busy designing and making some very colourful tiny birds for Valentine's Day. One or two can try to guess who if you spot the little clue in this message.

I had been given some lovely pieces of wood by my woodturning brother living in Devon. Each piece had the moss still in place and each reminded me of the damp undergrowth below the hedge which so typifies the territory of the wren. So I took my time to make specifically posed wrens for each piece of wood, led by the angles of their legs as they met their soon to be perch.

Full description
Sympathetically handmade from natural sheared wool fibres of Corriedale, Merino and Shetland sheep and mounted on a natural plinth of ethically sourced Dartmoor bark, this cheeky one of a kind sculpted Wren is life-size, realistically patterned, and has all its flight feathers individually made by hand. This is a beguiling piece which comes alive with its sparkling eyes and head cocked as if you are both glimpsing each other by chance in the hedgerow.
A bird gift fit for any discerning birder, birdwatcher or lover of stunning garden birds in the UK and Europe, Wrens are sweet characterful little birds, who spend a lot of their time in low vegetation, catching your ear with their loud song and your eye with their perky short tail held upright. Carefully observed and patiently detailed to be true to life, this little bird is posed looking up at your directly, perfect to keep you or a loved one company on a desk or shelf in the shade of a potted plant, bird book or pair of binoculars.
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 including plinth: 14.5cms length x 9cms height x 4.5cms width
Presented in a reusable gift box, wrapped and carefully padded for posting using the Royal Mail 48hr tracked service for UK buyers.
Designed by Jacqui Double in Whitstable
