Whimsical Fibre and Magical Mixed Media Art

Hi, I'm Tara!

I’m an artist and maker based in Bedfordshire.

​I’m a bird nerd and a natural history buff, who believe it or not, worked as a zoo keeper for several years specializing in birds- everything from corvids, birds of prey to parrots… Birds play a huge role in my work!

Thank you so much for visiting my little piece of the internet and for taking a look at my needle felted, chubby birds!

They are all approximately life sized and are full of tiny details that make our garden birds (and other critters) so lovely!

I use wool fibre along with 3D printed beaks and feet to create a realistic look.

If you'd like your very own felted bird, please contact me here to discuss what you're after! I've made everything from the humble robin, to a splendid fairywren (look it up, you wont be disappointed!)
