Tea Towel by Poppy Treffry
I managed to escape to the beach for a couple of hours yesterday - bliss! Unfortunately there was little driftwood there, but the birds...! Cormorants, oyster catchers, even a heron - just amazing! Typically I didn't have my camera with me (and I was pretty close to them,damn!) but it got me thinking about making some stuffed fabric oyster catchers - I can just see them with their long bright orange bills, maybe in polka dot? There's no way I can do these until after Chrimbo but will give it a go afterwards when things go quiet. I'm also thinking about adapting my robins and doing some chicks or chickens for Spring/Easter. I'm not sure where this bird fetish has come from, I can only assume I've been influenced by the work I've been looking at lately...
