Birdies

It's springtime, and I've been on a bit of a bird kick lately. There's the embroidery for my mom (which I did end up coloring, and I like how it turned out). And there's the Nite Owl embroidery I'm still working on, which I am also counting as bird themed.
Then I got a commission for these little birdies as a wedding cake topper. They're about 7" tall. I'm pretty please with how they turned out, although they were a bit of a pain. The fabric frayed like crazy (I used fusible interfacing to back it and had to zig zag along the edges) and the pattern was very finicky, but they are quite cute. They're beaks are made from polymer clay and I found this nifty wired jute to use for their legs.

And with Easter, there was also Eggschach...
