Birdcage Weekend Sew-In

Thanks to Jenny and Wendy for hosting the Birdcage sew-in this weekend!! Did you join in the fun? I really enjoyed it, but didn't actually sew my birds...I had these lovely birdcage ornaments that I picked up in the after Christmas sales last year, and knew they would be just perfect!
But after searching through some boxes and finding them, I realized how small they were and knew I couldn't sew a bird thatwould fit properly.So my three little blue birds are made from polymer clay with seed beads for the eyes, and are hung in their cages with fishing line. They turned out fabulously, and are so tiny!!Much better than empty bird cages, don't you think?! Go to Jenny's here to see who else participated in the sew-in and what fabulous birds they created!

Wow they're beautiful Amanda! I just spied my little owls on my desk and thought of you, and then you popped up in my reader.

They are definitely very cute bluebirds and they do spruce up the birdcages.
