Description:
You will have three swap partners & send each one of them a homemade bird. You can make three the same or play around and try three different methods... -ideas- papier mache, sew fabric or felt, knit or crochet, tin, wood, Please aim to make each bird to the very best of your ability. I don't mind if they are 2d, 3d, free standing, loop hanging, realistic, cartoon, folk or whatever you do best. Feel free to add additional details like for example a little twig, a leave tucked under a wing or an egg or what ever you fancy... I did something like this a few years back through a blog (apologises can't recall whose) called 'bird of change exchange' & it was great to see such different medias, methods & ideas - really inspirational... cute & colourful realistic WIP really inspirational here are some I made earlier

This looks like a fun swap but can you make it 1, 2 or 3 partners? 5 is a lot for international mailing.

Biff 03/13/2012 #

Yep - you're right.

The thought of five might put some folk off so will edit to three. & if it works out well could always host another round.

Thanks :)

I have since moved house, done a whole lot of culling, but still have these little birdies in my kitchen!
