Textile birds made with vintage fabrics

More birds

This time with my grannies old lace.. sizes are about 4inches to 7inches long...

nostalgia birds

I have been working on a new project called Nostalgia birds.. they are made with lots of processes but on this example I have bit of favourite dresses and  my Granny's old lace and some fabric my mother had.

I am going to be selling these on Etsy and various other places and thought that I could take orders for specially made ones too.. They would make a great christening present if someone gave me some bits and pieces like lace and certain fabrics from Granny and other special people in the family I can add these into the birds creating not just a lovely hanging bird for the nursery but a bird of textile memories!!!.The other ideas could be for a bride with something old something new ( the bird) something borrowed (maybe a box to put it in?) and something blue.. plenty of blue fabrics.. A present for Granny using up little scraps of fabrics that she has stashed and doesnt want to throw away... The list of ideas is endless and  I AM open to ideas.. however these birds take a full day to make, so they will  cost from £30 upwards.. leave me a message if you want to know more...
