Item details
Come share the beautiful world of zoologically correct, intricately detailed, sculpted birds.
Every bird, feather or leaf tells the story of an individual, species or family of birds, widening and strengthening our knowledge and personal connections to avian culture, honouring the native cultural heritage of birds and those avian globetrotters who discovered, painted or lived alongside them.
Hand-made using needlefelt techniques and incorporating ethically sourced natural materials, my birds, feathers and plants are made from plant and sheared animal fibres, contain no plastics at all and reflect my values of re-use first, recycle second and create as little waste as possible at each creative step. My footprint on this earth should be as light as the tiniest bird in my garden.
Each sculpture, tiny feather or full-sized real-life bird wool sculpture, is a unique art piece made to bring joy for a lifetime. As with all art, they should be handled with care and are intended for adult children only.
I feel deeply honoured when my birds are invited into your home.
It's autumn/winter right now, and I am taking walks through the harbour and along the beach in Whitstable to a wonderful SSSI where kingfishers often find their way in the colder months. It is the flash of blue and orange that gives away the kingfisher. Even when they don't stay still long enough to properly see them, you know they were just there with you. I wanted to recreate that blue flash in a tiny realistic way, so it could be brought into your home too.

Full description
Unique decorative hand-made plant fibre bird feathers, a tiny work of art and bird gift to bring the joy of outside inside your home.
Oh the delight of seeing the beloved kingfisher on a winter beach or summer river. I've made several full size and mini sculptures of kingfishers. I've been inspired this time to recreate, using my own fibre feather-making techniques, each of their lustrous tail feathers in a framed, limited edition art collection.
Choose between a black or white 10.5 cm square shadow-box frame, each holding a truly unique hand-crafted and individually painted plant fibre feather. Each plume, a tiny work of art, is made exclusively from plant fibres including flax, nettle and banana, painted with high-quality inks and held securely on a wire quill. These natural materials sympathetically capture the delicate strength of birds in one tiny feather.
The feather itself is approximately 40mm in length, mounted on non-tree derived paper and behind glass. The light weight 105mm square synthetic frame comes with a kickstand support, though it can also stand upright on its own 35mm edge. UK shipping is free, and a charge is given for shipping to Europe or the USA.
As each feather is hand-painted and crafted, they differ one to the other and are based on the differently patterned twelve tail feathers sported by the common kingfisher. I have included at least one picture of all the feathers together for you in the images.
