Kingfisher Fabric Collage


Last week while Charity Shop shopping I found a small framed woven
picture of a Kingfisher which I decided to rescue and dress up a bit!

Here's what it looked like when taken out of the frame.
The information label was on the back of the mountboard.
(I left the wooden frame and glass in the shop)


I then had fun trawling through my stash to find various pieces
of lace, fabric and fibres to complement the picture.


I thought these fibres made a good nest!


The buttons at the top are mother of pearl and the one on the left
had the perfect blue colouring for the piece.


.... and finally a peek at the back!

Thanks for looking -  and can't you tell Spring is finally here with all the
lovely bird song - unfortunately no kingfishers near where I live (too urban!), but plenty of pigeons, magpies, blackbirds, sparrows and blue tits.

Edit:  Thanks to Viv for providing a link to the website of
the manufacturer of the Kingfisher woven picture
