Bird Song Tag Book

Lovely . . . beautiful . . . gorgeous . . . and everything in between! I seriously couldn't believe this was my book for keeps when I opened it. Thanks so much to Karla for putting this swap together. :)
Karla Nathan's swap



Karla
Anyone who reads Karla's blog knows she's a talented painter, look at the beautiful bird on our tag book covers! I love the cute little bird cage charm dangling from the feather and vintage wallpaper on the back.




Leann
Love the feather-like swirly embossed blue paper and big pretty plaid ribbon.




Shane
I love the vintage appliqué "feathers", tulle and all the stamping.



Cindy
Love the sepia tones, stitching, distressing details and use of vintage paper ephemera.



Tina
Brown & blue is one of my fav color combos. :) I love her handmade paper flower and the copper glitter.



Bec
How sweet is the little bird nest? Love pretty pink trims and bulky cotton lace.



I love Nora's sweet little parakeets, sheer pink & gold leaf and use of sewing pattern paper (on the back)



Deborah
I love this beautiful vintage silver lace fabric, sweet pink plastic birdie and sentiment too.


Thank you talented artists for sharing your wonderful bird songs. :)

Bird Song Tag Swap

I am so excited to join Karla Nathan's Birdsong Tag Book Swap - my first swap! There are over 100 people participating and so many lovely tags have been submitted - see here.

My little "studio", a.k.a. the guest bedroom, is a wreck after digging through boxes and bins for just the right this and that - what could be more fun! Here I stitched a strand of vintage glass beads onto a length of velvet ribbon, then attached it to a piece of old lace.

I thought my tags would have big flowery pieces of vintage wallpaper on them, but I fell in love this chartreuse and blue combo. Sometimes I wonder why I spend so much time planning when the things I make always turn out so differently!

Inside each birdhouse is a place for everyone to add a little treasure of their own - an image, snippet of ribbon, scrap of favorite paper . . . it's fun to think that we can art play even though we may be hundreds of miles apart. :)
