These little birds came out of my first 30 Day Challenge a while back and they've proven to be very popular.
This particular pair is from a lovely vintage Chinese tea tin in a gorgeous shade of orange.
The little birds are hand-cut, filed, finished smooth and formed slightly to add interest and rigidity. The birds are 1.5" (37mm) tall and are attached with a tube rivet to swoopy ear wires that make them hang about 2.5" (67mm) from the ear. The wire is designed to catch on a little bend made in the tail. This creates tension in the wire and keeps the little birds from flying off.
All adaptive reuse pieces come to you neatly displayed on an upcycled card and sustainably wrapped ready for gift-giving.
