UK artist Abigail Brown designs and creates magical little scrap fabric creatures and sells them online. While all of her creatures are enchanting, her birds are especially appealing, perhaps because she considers birds one of the most beautiful and accessible of creatures.
She is able to capture the joyful chirping and lightness of being that birds express. Each of her creatures has a unique character and are presented in delightful ways. The little Matchbox Tweeters seem perfect for Twitterers and are especially endearing, though I confess, her little foxes are also very sweet.
