I think it must have been the long awaited sunshine and the countryside suddenly springing into life that drew me to this fabric!

Full description
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue...
Mhari is a delightful bird for any occasion however I feel she is destined for romance; particularly as she embodies all the elements of this traditional bridal recipe for success!
Let me explain...
Mhari is new but is created from old, the fabric from which she is made is vintage.
The copper wire I have used for her legs is striped (borrowed) from 3-core electrical cabling. Hmmm... very romantic.....but please, stick with me on this...
The background hue of the gently worn cotton is a softly faded blue...far more gentle than any camera or computer monitor can convey...
and the icing on the cake - as if any were needed - is the floral detail in the fabric which is depicted in washed-out vintage shades of primrose yellow, salmon pink, sage green and rubbed reds. There are a sprinkling of polka dots and sprigs of foliage in antique-white dotted amongst the flowers. It all adds up to ensure that Mhari is the very personification of birdy romance...a true 'tweetheart' you might say!
I have used carded polyester toy filling to ensure Mhari is plump and gorgeous and that she will retain her enviable shape for years to come. I have given her tiny black seed bead eyes which I have mounted on little circles of white felt and a beak that is cut from a rich brown felt.
Post is first class.
