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.
