Sails for a new boat and a couple merry wobblers.

birds and boro
Stephen Szczepanek of Sri Threads came for a visit a little while ago and brought me a fabulous present.
Beautiful bits of Japanese indigo and bright floral dust rags. I love them. You can find more about Stephen and these amazing things at his website. I think I’m going to make a bat out one of the dust cloths.
These little birds are on their way to London today for a garden wedding.
I like this photo – I think they look very earnest or maybe sincere. Note on wedding birds/ cake toppers: I’m still making them but not taking orders right now so I can focus on current orders, tackling my massive backlog of email and doing a little restructuring to make everything more manageable for all concerned. If I were to continue without making some adjustments and changes I would certainly lose the rest of my marbles. If you would like updates please join the mailing list or check back here.
This lace and fabric is for some brides and grooms I’m beginning today.
My favorite parts of the bird making process are picking out the fabric and taking the photo when they’re finished. I like the middle parts too – just not as much.

A scoundrel of the first water.
He storms off.
Good riddance.

flea market report 4/26/08
From the Park Slope flea market, bits of old glass, fished out of the ocean by the same fella I got these from this time last year.
cardboard castle
I’ve been extremely busy making all sorts of things; too busy, uncomfortably busy, but with things I love to do which makes me very lucky. I had lots of fun this past weekend building a cardboard castle for an ad job.
And finished 2 new ships – pictures coming soon.
new dress and a pirate
A tattered antique dress for making things. You can click the image for a better look at the dress – it is ideal for making little wedding gowns for birds.
And a pirate – mick and his friend jenny. They will be in my etsy shop at 3 (new york time).
shop update
There will be new little birds available Friday, April 11th, at 3PM (EST) at my etsy shop ( you need to have and account at etsy to purchase – it’s quick and easy – just a user name and password).
I have also added a couple new cake toppers to my shop.
Above are eve and thurston and below are darla and monty ( the bird at the top is little frannie).

progress and tiny pine cones
The photo above is something new I’m working on and below is progress on a ship. I haven’t made one in a long time – maybe they’re a spring summer thing.
And some tiny pine cones.
I like tiny pine cones maybe even more than is normal and came across a ton of them in Prospect Park this weekend. I didn’t take them all, so if you like tiny pine cones too they’re at the grand army entrance.
