Item details

Round and fluffy, this grumpy Wren fledgling might just be the cutest baby bird on Folksy. He is hand-made from wool fibre using the needle-felting technique, with yarn-wrapped wire legs, tiny glass eyes and a chubby beak coated in felter’s-wax.

This little bird sculpture has all the grown-up Wren feather colours but in a fluffy baby finish. He is 7cms long from his chubby beak to fluffy tail and no more than 8cms tall including his fluffy baby-down crowned head. He can sit in your hand or perch on your desk, shelf or tabletop for grumpy inspiration throughout your day, or he could stand proudly on a slice of Bodmin Moor or Whitstable Beach beach-combed wood (just message to let me know so I can add this to your parcel).

Welcome to my shop - the place where you can buy my lovingly handmade woollen birds.

I only add birds to this shop once they are finished. So, if you see them on Folksy they are available to buy. I post my work in progress on my Instagram and Facebook pages. If a bird you see on my socials isn't here on Folksy, I have either made it directly for a client as a commission, or I am not yet sure it is finished.

If you would like to commission a handmade bird sculpture, you are really welcome to contact me. I can walk you carefully through the process of creating a wonderful bird together for you or as a special gift.

I attend one maker's market locally in Whitstable which is the only real-life place to look at my birds and have a chat with me. This means that birds will seem to disappear from Folksy if I sell them locally. Sorry!

None of the birds I make with such careful observation of detail will ever be repeated in excatly the same way, I just don't work like that. Every single bird I make is a unique artpiece to be displayed for a lifetime. They must be handled with care and none of them should be bought assuming it is fit to be a child's toy.

You are always welcome to message me with any questions about wool, birds or making.

Having made a few large bird sculptures, I was feeling a little tired and grumpy. I decided to reflect this in a tiny bird, and so the grumpy fledgling Wren was born. I trust he will bring you smiles and delight as, honestly, I was grinning through most of his making process, and when he sat in my hand finally finished it made me laugh out loud. He is just so grumpy and fluffy and sweet!
