Creative Tuesdays - Bird House

The latest challenge over at Creative Tuesdays is Bird House or Bird Cage.

My interpretation of a whimsical bird house street. All done with marker pens.


And a bird house mug rug!  I wanted to have a go at dying fabric so all the orange and the blue background are dyed by me. I then cut out pieces of fabric and machined it all together with some batting inside to give it body.


I shall enjoy putting my morning cuppa on this.

Other bird houses/cages over on Dotty Hill Creative's blog.

  3. Birdhouses! So cute! A clothesline! Adorable. I admit to being a little nervous about the cat but it looks like everyone gets along. ;D

  4. As usual you just brighten any day with your dots and doodles. I'd move into any one of those adorable birdhouses.

    And mug rugs are so nice. I knitted a few when I was making dish cloths. They are so cute, and save the table, and make drinking your cuppa coffee or tea fun.

  5. Linda,

    I adore your drawing. SO bright and fun. Love the laundry hanging between the houses, making for some good shared neighbours there. This is really clever. Also enjoyed where I could see traces of the original pencil lines for the cat's tail etc. It's fun to see how it comes together. So glad you mentioned it was marker pens as I was wondering what did you use there. I know you've mentioned it before, but do you have some special kind of opaque white fabric pen for your darling white dots?

    The "mug rug"--funny name, that, is wonderful too. I don't know how you have so much creativity oozing through your veins! Oh, and one other final thing--yes, I got it right. I guessed you;d do bird houses and flowers! Whoo! :) Love it. Thank you!
