Robin Nest ***SOLD”

***SOLD*** Spring is just around the corner, and this robin has a head start building the necessary nest. This is another collaboration with my friend Jo Scholl who created the cross stitch robin and egg, using a design from Bent Creek. I then took the piece and added the needle punch "Spring", crafted a prim bird nest by needle felting raw wool and little sticks onto the background and then mounted the piece on old wood found on our farm. A light white wash completes the look. Please email if you are interested. beckhoop@yahoo.com. Shipping included in price.

It’s tiny, only 2 3/4” tall x 2” wide. I aged the drum to make it look old and hand stitched chenille trim around the top and bottom.

Kindly asking $65 and $8.00 for travel fare.
