Made Briar to celebrate my bullfinches coming back to the garden. Have had a terrible trouble with a pesky rat visiting the garden all winter. He started coming in November and stayed, eventually all the birds left and even the squirrels got fed up with him. I don't like the idea of poison but my neighbour got him with a trap. As soon as he was gone within the week all the birds came back, really happy. So Briar was made!
All her plumage is delineated with stitch, no paint, giving her a deep textural look and feel. She is embroidered front and back making a lovely rich doll. This little bird is dressed in a pretty Liberty print called Edenham with rich purples, grey and blacks that just set off her embroidery details. Love maaking my little birds, all that stitch, delicious xx
