FQ Name tag ready to fly to a new home !
Well everyone wanted to give the bird legs and who am I to resist overwhelming popular opinion!??
I had though of creating some beaded legs on wire but thought they might catch on clothing so then I thought of legs that could be detached - at that point I thought Nicky you are going too far! The bird will just have to stay legless.
After all your excitement about legs I thought about them again! And with some helpful suggestions from the lovely Helen I realised they didn't need to be made of wire!
So here is the birdy with cotton legs as suggested by Helen and a bit of wing stitching as requested by Katy!
Now I said I was going to bling things up with a beaded lanyard.
Well my partner has two options
Daytime with matching fabric lanyard
And Evening with beaded number
Now just to keep it all tidy I thought a pouch was in order and here it is...
Quirky birdy side up....
Close up of twitter birds... and what could be hiding under those gorgeous buttons? I wonder! Or should I say who?
Well until she gets it I couldn't possibly comment....! But you can guess if you like....
