Birds of a Feather - part 1

The purpose of this blog post is to gather as many small tatted  birds I can (just big enough to fit a card) , play with the patterns and colours and create lovely feathery beasties😜 Work in progress though, watch this spaceπŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ¦πŸ¦œπŸ•Š️πŸ¦…πŸ“πŸ¦†πŸ¦’πŸ¦šπŸ¦‰πŸ₯πŸ˜›
We all love birds, their chirping and beautiful feathers delight our eyes and ears, except the screeching of a parrot. Although they can also have beautiful ploomage too. (Monthy Python moment - The Dead Parrot Sketch) πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚ and just for shits and giggles you can watch the sketch here
They'll be tatted with my needles and shuttles.
So here we go with the 1st birdie. 
It's called BIRD by Hannah Crowle, from the the Ring of Tatters Spring Issue magazine. It was tatted with shuttles, thread Lisbeth size 20. 
Apologies for the blurry photo, this is one way of protecting the designer's property from theft, the watermark is mine, it showes I took the picture after I made the project. 
Ta-daaaa a moment, birdie done. 
Now onto the next one(s) 😜

  1. Pretty! And it will certainly be interesting to see lots more tatted birds. Pity they are not accompanied by their bird calls.
