Little Birdie

I ended up doing an entirely different
birdie for my old rusty cage.

This one was made with linen & a piece
of Tana Lawn Liberty print,
stuffed with polyfill.

I painted the birdie with fabric paint
using my watercolor round brushes.
I used two different greens
& white for the details.

& made him a little polymer clay beak.

All I need to do now is figure out a way
to secure him to the perch of the cage.
I'll show you when he's living in his new home.

Note:
For those of you who asked,
the fabric paint I used is called
Pebeo Setacolor
