Felted Mockingbird On Branch

Item Description: Sporting light grey plumage with striking white tail feathers, the chatty Northern Mockingbird is a common backyard bird across all of the United States. This felted friend perches on a branch, ready to keep a keen eye on all the goings-on in your home. About the Artist: Collen has been making art for as long as she can remember. With a college degrees are in Wildlife Biology and Natural & Historical Interpretation the natural world has always been important to her ( birds especially). Birds are so fun to needle-felt and everyone seems to have a favorite bird or a great story about birds, so they were the only animals she focused on for some time until she decided to expand her craft to include all sorts of animals, real and imaginary! One felted creation starts with a core made of raw wool or polyfiber. Colleen adds a bit of lavender in the cores to help keep pets from being too interested in them. Then she shapes it with her needles into a rough form. From
