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.
I add finished birds to Folksy and hope you can find the species or size of bird you are looking for. If not, reach out to see if I can make your choice of bird for when you might need it.
If I can help, I will want to.

Not everyone knows when they have seen a Dunnock. They can be mistaken for sparrows or simply over-looked as nondescript little brown birds. However, if you have ever stood below whilst one lifts its head and sings a sweet frosty awakening song out to the morning or seen that brown flecked cheek and slate grey chest, you will know the wonder of these shy little birds. Look for them in the undergrowth, hopping below the hedge. They stand out beautifully on the snow, bringing woodland warmth to the crisp white blanketed ground. Leave them food and watch. You’ll soon never mistake a dunnock for a sparrow again.
Safety information
Glass bell jar must be handled with care to avoid breakage. Do not remove the cork from the bell jar. If seperated only gentle pressure should be applied to reattach the bell jar and cork. The tiny bird is permanently attached to its snowy plinth and contains wool products and wire wrapped in yarn forming its legs.

Full description
Original and unique hand-made needlefelt wool Dunnock standing on sparkly woollen snow, in their own tiny hanging glass bell jar with a cork stopper and pretty ribbon.
Each miniature bird in its bell jar comes securely enclosed in a beautiful high-quality gift box tied with a bow, snuggled in tissue paper and with a signed Mindful Felting tag to authenticate it as one of my own bespoke bird creations.
Perfect in every detail, this shy garden bird of winter measures just over 3.75cms long and 2.5cms tall, stands on tiny wire legs with teeny claws, has a minute woollen beady eye and beak, and individually crafted flight feathers. Scaled to 1:4 of life-size, your ‘hedge sparrow’ to give it its folk name, fits easily inside the 11cm height by 6cm diameter glass bell jar with integral hanging hook and ribbon.
Quirky, sweet and full of character, my birds are tiny works of art designed to be educational and decorative items for the adult collector and are not toys.
All the birds in my 1:4 scale range can be displayed together as a 'true to life' set, perfectly representing the comparative sizes, colours and characters of our garden birds.
