About this item
Unique tiny needlefelt wool Atlantic Puffin artwork, sitting in a glass snow globe on twinkling woollen snow with a cork base. Puffins change their colours in the winter, and were even thought to be a completely different species of bird when seen out at sea with their darker faces and less colourful legs and beak. So this is a Christmas puffin perfectly formed and sized at 1:4 scale in a seated position resting back on his ankles, 5cms long and 5.5cms tall within a 10cm diameter and 10cm height glass snow globe. Each tiny wing and tail feather is individually crafted from wool fibres, as his beady eye and sharp sealed beak. His tiny yarn-wrapped wire legs have individual claws, with realistic sealed wool webbing. He is seated on sparkling woollen snow, which is admittedly poetic license but a perfect winter metaphor all the same. This Atlantic Puffin wool sculpture is to scale with all my other mini-birds noted as being in 1:4 scale.

I was making a tiny colourful Atlantic Puffin in a glass snow globe sitting on bright green spring grass as a commission. This obviously led directly to the question ‘what would a winter puffin look like in a snow globe?’ I read some scientific papers about puffin moults and what happens to their beaks after breeding, and referred to a few bird books with great photos. I didn’t find any images of puffins sitting on the snow, so I agonised for a while and then decided I have a ‘artistic license’ card I rarely use, and here he is. Puffin. Winter. Snow. Snow globe. Simple.

Bought 1 itemI was lucky enough to purchase these two tiny pigeons. The detail on each of the needle felted birds is quite lovely . They can in a special box with some stickers related to Valentines - Love. Like all Jacqui’s felt art, the quality shines through
