About the book >.>.> In this book you’ll find sixteen of my fabric bird patterns as well as comprehensive sections on tools materials and basic birdmaking techniques that you can use to make any bird. I’ve included tips and tricks throughout for embellishing birds and using them in assemblages. I’ve also included interviews with four extraordinary fabric-bird artists for added inspiration and a gallery of their creations. The materials I use to create fabric birds are readily available in most fabric stores. You probably already have most of them and the few specialized tools I encourage you to invest in will most certainly be useful in tasks beyond birdmaking. A sewing machine a few yards of colorful quilting cotton thread some wool or polyester stuffing and wire from the hardware store along with a pair of long tweezers or forceps will get you started. I know you’ll enjoy selecting fabrics and color combinations and enhancing each bird to make it your own. Once you’ve sewn a few of the birds from this book I encourage to you design your own patterns for birds. Nearly all of the birds are designed around the same three elements-underbody side body and head gusset. By playing with the shape andhize of each of these basic elements you will be able to design your own bird. Delve into fabric birdmaking. I think once you see your first bird come to life you will share my excitement and want to make fabric birds of every variety. (LL)
