woolie birds

Another project completed!

My drawer of felted wool sweater pieces was calling to me for inspiration. Seriously! I mean there is just so much organizing and unpacking I can do before I gotta be creative.

I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to make until I began sorting through some old applique patterns. I had a couple of bird patterns that I thought would look a whole lot better if they were enlarged and stuffed.

I was right. The boring flat appliques came to life with their transformation.

I think they have a primitive quality that I love.

Check out the whole flock!

Enjoy!
