Birds have predominated my latest creations....you've seen my "subirdia" books before, but I've turned these ones into notebook covers and saved on the time consuming task of hand binding the pages.It struck me that people may want to reuse what they've paid substantially for! And I found some cracking little hard covered A6 sketchbooks to nestle in the covers..perfect for the doodling on whilst out and about!
I've been making more little birdies too for a new kit I'm working on....promise to show you when finished !
My fave latest birdy creations, however, are these little "hangy thingies"...(yes that is the technical term!)
I hacked into a vintage linen table cloth with its lovely scalloped edges and embroidered "holey bits" (yes..another technical term) and stitched up these birdies using freehand machine stitching as well as hand embroidery.
A band of barn owls is what I call them.
wow Jenny all your craftings are fabulous. x
