New Listings In My Etsy Shop .. My Spring Nests

Hello my dear friends,

ever since I have started blogging and almost everything I have made since I started Todolwen is still with me and I hate to say it but my studio is starting to look rather full or better said is rather cluttered and that can only mean one thing ... I need to 'declutter'. Actually I don't like using the word 'declutter' since I think it is a harsh word, I would prefer to say I need to find 'new homes' for my creations.

I have many little creations that I really treasure but it is time to let some of them go so I have decided that I will be listing a few of them in my Etsy shop from time to time.

So ... for the first time with Spring finally making it's entrance, I have listed three of my little hand~felted Spring nests in my Etsy shop today.
 

I created these nests last Spring. To embellish the nests I made leaves from wire and book pages, some in the color of green ~ some not at all ~ and stained the edges with ink. The little wooden eggs are painted and speckled. The color I picked for the eggs is one that harmonizes with the different colors in the nests.

 

Here are a few photos so you can recall what they look like ~ I took them yesterday in our backyard in the warmth of the Spring sunshine.

Nest 1 ...

 

 

 

... is a little nest approx. 4 inches wide (without the leaves) and approx. 2 inches tall.

It is made in various green, beige and brown shades. It has book page leaves that have been painted a lovely green color and has two little speckled eggs that live in it amongst the feathers and wool roving.

Nest  2 ...

 

 

 

... is a little nest, approx. 3.5 inches wide (again without the leaves) and approx. 2 inches tall. It too is made in various green, beige and brown shades. It has green book page leaves with little white paper flowers that have a pearl center. Nested inside is a little speckled egg amongst feathers and wool roving. 

 

And finally ...
 

Nest 3 is a little nest ...

 

... approx. 4 inches wide (without the leaves) and approx. 2 inches tall. It made the same way the first two were made and instead of green leaves, I left the book pages original and uncolored but I also embellished  the nest with little white paper flowers that have pearls centers. This nest has again two small speckled eggs nesting in it.

 

If you have a moment why not pop over to my Etsy shop and take a look?!

 

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

 

Have a peaceful and creative day that is filled with sunshine,
