This was my first needle felted bird. Totally addicting and there are more being hatched in my studio as I am writing this. I had a bunch of gourds laying around so after sanding, inserting eye hooks into the top, painting and drilling the holes....I had a bird house! My Chickadee is felted roving, with some dog hair thrown in, black beads for eyes, wire formed feet, and a sunflower seed for her mouth. I love her, she was my first, and now sold, will live in Carmel, California. She's going to a good home.
P.S. Everything I used here except the paint for the gourd was something I had on hand. It's what I do, create a project from what I have....and there in lies the challenge. That wonderful challenge...
