* camp wapameo (for birds)
Posted on July 13th, 2008 by annwood. Filed under birds, vintage.
A group of little birds attended Camp Wapameo on the shores of beautiful Echo Lake in Rhode Island (thanks bettyann) over the July 4th holiday. The weather was disappointing and I suffered unimaginable insults from insects ( and vice versa I suppose), got poison ivy, accidentally rolled in goose shit repeatedly and had a fabulous time. You can see some of the highlights below (click the pictures for a larger view) or if you prefer to view your birds at summer camp photos in slide show format you can do that here.
The campers are ( from left to right):
rex, finn, minter, liney, ashley, jane, betsy, flora, and georgie.
* birds on vacation

They’re having a camping adventure and it’s been ridiculously well documented - more pictures when we get back.
* birds and preserves
Posted on July 2nd, 2008 by annwood. Filed under becky things, birds.
My sister becky puts things up and she surprised me with a box of her homemade preserves this week. Besides the strawberry and rhubarb orange in the photo there is also a lime raisin chutney that I already put too big a dent in to photograph. They are all unimaginably delicious. Enjoy the holiday, there will be new little birds available shortly after and I’m thinking about maybe bringing back the daily bird for a little while. You can join the mailing list for updates or just check back here.

Sails for a new boat and a couple merry wobblers.

* birds and boro
Posted on May 22nd, 2008 by annwood. Filed under WIP, birds, inspiration, resources, sweethearts.
Stephen Szczepanek of Sri Threads came for a visit a little while ago and brought me a fabulous present.
Beautiful bits of Japanese indigo and bright floral dust rags. I love them. You can find more about Stephen and these amazing things at his website. I think I’m going to make a bat out one of the dust cloths.
These little birds are on their way to London today for a garden wedding.
I like this photo - I think they look very earnest or maybe sincere. Note on wedding birds/ cake toppers: I’m still making them but not taking orders right now so I can focus on current orders, tackling my massive backlog of email and doing a little restructuring to make everything more manageable for all concerned. If I were to continue without making some adjustments and changes I would certainly lose the rest of my marbles. If you would like updates please join the mailing list or check back here.
This lace and fabric is for some brides and grooms I’m beginning today.
My favorite parts of the bird making process are picking out the fabric and taking the photo when they’re finished. I like the middle parts too - just not as much.
* new dress and a pirate
Posted on April 11th, 2008 by annwood. Filed under birds, inspiration, vintage.
A tattered antique dress for making things. You can click the image for a better look at the dress - it is ideal for making little wedding gowns for birds.

And a pirate - mick and his friend jenny. They will be in my etsy shop at 3 (new york time).
