Text-ilse Tweets

Here are my latest offerings - Text-Ilse Tweets!!! They are made with hand woven fabric scraps that I couldn't bear to throw away - as anyone who weaves will understand! Some is even hand dyed before weaving and holds gentle memories... and of course they are stuffed with wool from my friends sheep (all nicely washed and carded :)

Oh I love them! So sweet. I've never tried to make a bird but I think one day I will when the time is right. I love feeding the real ones in my yard.

Those are lovely. Looks like perhaps the woven material was wool and you fulled it before constructing the birds?

thanks for the comments - and yes they are wool that was fulled and then needle felted before being free machine stitched....lots of little processes that are fun to add to!xxx Linda.
