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.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful festive season!
It's autumn/winter right now, and I am taking walks through the harbour and along the beach in Whitstable to a wonderful SSSI where kingfishers often find their way in the colder months. It is the flash of blue and orange that gives away the kingfisher. Even when they don't stay still long enough to properly see them, you know they were just there with you. I wanted to recreate that blue flash in a tiny realistic way, so it could be brought into your home too.

Full description
Unique decorative hand-made plant fibre bird feathers, a tiny work of art and bird gift to bring the joy of outside inside your home.
Oh the delight of seeing the beloved kingfisher on a winter beach or summer river. I've made several full size and mini sculptures of kingfishers. I've been inspired this time to recreate, using my own fibre feather-making techniques, each of their lustrous tail feathers in a framed, limited edition art collection.
Choose between a black or white 10.5 cm square shadow-box frame, each holding a truly unique hand-crafted and individually painted plant fibre feather. Each plume, a tiny work of art, is made exclusively from plant fibres including flax, nettle and banana, painted with high-quality inks and held securely on a wire quill. These natural materials sympathetically capture the delicate strength of birds in one tiny feather.
The feather itself is approximately 40mm in length, mounted on non-tree derived paper and behind glass. The light weight 105mm square synthetic frame comes with a kickstand support, though it can also stand upright on its own 35mm edge. UK shipping is free, and a charge is given for shipping to Europe or the USA.
As each feather is hand-painted and crafted, they differ one to the other and are based on the differently patterned twelve tail feathers sported by the common kingfisher. I have included at least one picture of all the feathers together for you in the images.
