I have blogged about these before, so won’t bore you with the details again. I have been trying to get some decent individual shots of them though and having struggled with lighting and props I finally managed to get some pictures for the shop, I’m rather please with them so I thought I might as [...]

I’m not sure if this is an abstraction of the commoner garden blackbird or what happens when bonnie birds start listening to goth music!? Whatever it is I’m rather pleased with the colour combo, I may even go so far as to describe it as being a bit chic … but, to be honest, I’m [...]
Having made a few batches of previous bonnie birds and developed a decorative pattern that I think works for them – see previous posts here – I’ve been keen to develop alternative patterns, something as it turns out is easier said than done. Here are a few examples of what I’ve come up with thus [...]
Maybe it’s been the first rays of spring-time sun but I was compelled to decorate the latest couple of Bonnie Birds in vibrant yellows and reds. I decided to stick with the simple design for these birds although I’m mulling over a variety of options for future generations of the Bonnie Birds … actually I’d [...]
Skot is another artist found through DeviantArt where he goes by the name Lord Hoki, living on Austrailia’s East Coast Skot works in a variety of media creating a range of drawn, painted and sculpted objects.

I’ve been watching Jolene create her fabric finches for months now, I suppose it was inevitable that I would end up taking some inspiration from them and feeding it into what I’m doing myself … indeed, Jolene alluded to as much here. The WIP previews she gave there though have long since been finished, and [...]
I had promised to have this finished by April 2009, so obviously I’m delighted to have finished it before it goes a full year past my own self-imposed ‘due date’! Like most of his erstwhile and largely forgotten friends Gruber is keen on world domination, although it’s perhaps telling that he and his cohorts are [...]
I made a new bird. The process has been somewhat arduous and there have been many poor deformed creatures along the way. It’s taken me such a long time of thinking before I finally plucked up the courage to create a new design. It seems so silly now but I was so pleased with the [...]
I’ve really been taken by the work of Kezeff, another artist I found on DeviantArt. I’ve only been following them for a short period, but even in that time I have been fairly impressed not only by the quality of their work but by the creativity behind it and the seemingly highly effective execution of [...]
