Yet more birds...

I continue to be addicted to the bird-making. Lots of ducks this week, as you can probably see! I have also started trying to sell some now, listing some on my Etsy site and hawking my wares round everyone I know... I sold my first one this week, the white dove from the second batch (now hanging in a neighbour's window, so nice seeing it there everytime I walk past!). I am hoping to get some commissions soon too. Have also determined to make some other creatures (being pestered by the boyfriend to do this) and bits & pieces, and I'm investigating selling some stuff via the women's institute market near me.

A Batch of Business Cards

I have been making myself some business cards over the past few evenings, these are just a few of them. Perfect for keeping me occupied while I sit zonked out in front of the evening's viewing (normally one in an endless series of West Wing episodes - we are hopeless addicts). Someone requested a bundle of these & hopefully they will generally come in useful.

More birds!

I have had some camera rage, but generally my photographs are getting better - taking pics of everything I'm making is really helping me to get to grips with how my camera actually functions. These are the two birds I have made into brooches this week. I have been wearing them with pride, and if the penguin one sells on Etsy I am going to have to make another one to keep for myself it is just too darn cute.

Second Batch of Birds

This is my second batch of felt birds. I have been making these things like crazy and still have loads of different shapes to try out - I really want to decorate some of them, too. Sew sequins and beads and things onto them. The penguin was inspired by Creative Challenge #34 on Etsy - create something inspired by your pet or your dream pet. In a fantasy universe I would entirely have a pet penguin.
