The birds are done! The final design omits the button eyes because A) it would be a lot of buttons, B) it would be a lot of button sewing and C) I actually liked them better without the button eyes. Something about the sewn buttons reminded me of the X eyes they put on dead animals in cartoons... Anyway, here are some of my first finished birds...
... and here is the entire flock! 75 birds in all.
Close up taken in Hipstamatic...
Birds are packed and ready to go! Wish I had time to make a fancy carrying case for them...
I also ordered mini
Moo cards to include with my trades. These were SO fun to make! I can't believe I limited myself to just 20 different designs...
To get to and from Artfest, my friend Jane and I are sharing a rental car with three other lovely ladies. At the last minute, I made us each a little Moo card holder pouch out of my leftover fabric paper. I had fun making up the design as I went, but if I had more time I probably would have tweaked and customized even further.
Trades are done! Now to pack...
