Love Birds


My latest design is these Love Birds-named for their heart shaped wings. I enjoy making them because they give me the opportunity to use up scraps of fabric, and are a short term project-ideal at the moment as I am so busy with my new baby!


Initially I made them as single birds, and played around with giving them really long legs made of felt, different shaped beaks, and beaded wings. I love to change a design and develop it until I am satisfied (rare occurrence, but a pleasant journey!). I have decided to thread them on a string, with a bell at the end. They make such a sweet little gift, I will add some to my Felt Shop in the next few days.
