The 'British Birds' Project
'Britain's Favourite Bird'...
​

The top 10 favourite birds were:

1) Robin

2) Barn Owl

3) Blackbird

4) Wren

5) Red Kite

6) Kingfisher

7) Mute Swan

8) Blue Tit

9) Hen Harrier

10) Puffin

This is a series of artworks inspired by a recent poll to choose 'Britain's National Bird'.  (http://www.votenationalbird.com) 

 

The pieces combine painting, patchwork and embroidery. 

 

None of the embroidery has been produced on a machine, it is all done freestyle by hand.  Whilst much more labour intensive, I find this far more effective when it comes to capturing the details of texture and the nuances in colour.

​

Some of the original artworks can be purchased from my Etsy shop - have a peek and see what's available! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OfCatsandWren
