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.

There is something regal about the Great Tit, with his crisp white cheek like freshly laundered linen and winter-sun yellow breast. Unlike the Robin, which is about the same size, they stand off from you and haughtily require privacy at the garden feeder. But there is nothing as bright and vivid against the snow and frost as those blue flight and tail feathers, popping as brightly as a Gaugin tropical island. It was a great challenge to try and translate all that colour and poise into such a tiny sculpture. I have stared long at him on my desk. He has, of course, ignored me.

Full description
One-of-a-kind hand-made needlefelt wool Great Tit standing on sparkly woollen snow in their own tiny hanging glass bell jar with a cork stopper and pretty ribbon.
Perfect in every detail, this colourful garden bird of Christmas and winter measures just over 3.5cms long and 2.5cms tall, stands on tiny wire legs with teeny claws, a minute woollen beady eye and beak, and individually crafted flight feathers. Scaled to 1:4 of life-size, this Titmouse fits easily inside the 11cm height by 6cm diameter glass bell jar with integral hanging hook, which comes ready for the Christmas tree with its own colourful hanging ribbon.
All the birds in this bell-jar range are to scale against each other, and made to hang perfectly together as a set which would look just stunning on the same Christmas tree.
Designed by Jacqui Double in Whitstable
