Moodboard

This is the mood board I created as my starting point for my self portrait sculpture.

feathers

I think this feather piece is great. The use of colour makes the feathers look very stylized. If i was creating a piece like this i would make them look more realistic by using greys blacks and whites rather than the pink blues and greens that have been used here. Never the less i think the colours look great on this piece.

fabric bird

This is fabric blue tit. The colours on this are a nice blend and the detail of the bird has been captured perfectly. I would love to make some little birds like this in the future putting my own spin and making them in my own way.
This retails for £150 on etsy which shows how much work has been put into making the product!!

A lovingly hand-embroidered bird made with organic cotton, naturally dyed lambswool yarn and copper wire.

Acorns

I think these little knitted acorns that i found on pinterest are so cute. They could be arranged to create a very innovative neckpiece or wall hanging.

Birds

I love birds and one of my hobbies is bird watching. I am hoping to base some future projects on birds.
I found this embroidery piece on pinterest and think the piece is amazing. The amount of detail in this is crazy and the artist has blended the colours so well that it looks very realistic. Very inspirational!!!
