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.
LOVE IS IN THE AIR - DO CHECK OUT MY VALENTINE'S TINY BIRDS NOW!
Jacqui x
The world feels grey at the moment, not just because of it being winter, cloudy and cold. So I wanted to bring some brightness and colour into my life and yours and Toucans are not only brightly coloured but are also fascinatingly shaped. They are basically beaks with birds attached to them, living in rainforests in Central and South America. I chose the Toco Toucan because of his scarlet rump, his blue legs and eye ring and obviously because of that HUGE orange-yellow-red beak. They just say LOVE to me!

Full description
Especially for Valentine’s Day I've made five utterly unique, limited edition tiny wool Toco Toucans in 1:12 scale natural-habitat dioramas. A tiny bird perfectly formed to share your love with that special someone, be they bird lover, miniature collector or dollhouse enthusiast.
Your tiny Toco Toucan sits atop a piece of Whitstable beach driftwood nestled into a mossy bed of wool, and has a flowering yellow bromeliad made from wool and beach-foraged dried wildflowers by his side.
Presented in its own scenic tiny world this miniature bird is just over 6cms long and 3cms tall, is perched on tiny wire legs, has a minute wool beady eye and a fabulous over-sized orange beak for which his species is famous. He has individually crafted flight and tail feathers. Scaled to 1:12 of life-size, this dainty little bird fits easily inside the 9cm high by 6cm diameter glass bell jar sealed with a cork stopper.
Each individual Toco Toucan bell-jar diorama 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.
Also every gift box has two specially made PVC-free vinyl ‘Toucan Love’ valentine’s stickers - each based on my note-book watercolour sketches of the Toco Toucans used in my sculpting – hardwearing enough to fit on laptops, drinks bottles, doors and diaries and sweet enough to make you smile.
