Tuesday Talent - Jess Smith at Silverpasta

House Sparrow
I found these little lovelies whilst pootling around on Folksy and I think they are delightful. Made of air dried clay, then decorated so effectively with paints, pens and inks before being coated in varnish to protect them, these little birds are lovely.

They talented lady who makes these creatures is Jess Smith and she trades as 'Silverpasta' on Folksy.  The finish is so interesting and the patterning and plumage so good.  You instantly recognise every thing from a House Sparrow or Dunnock to the coolest squid.  You have to have a peep at her shop to see the range of creatures she creates, mostly based around British wildlife, not just birds but moths, butterflies and the best grass snake.

I don't think it is possible to resist the Dunnock it is just too cute and will have to come to live with me! If you peep at this lady's website she also makes cakes as well as cake toppers all with the same care and attention, the website is found at 'www.silverpasta.co.uk'
