In Springtime, we watch for the return of the migrating birds with anticipation and delight.
I have been hard at work, designing and weaving Tiny Birds of Hope (and other good things) on the Kindness Loom. These tiny birds are very small- in fact they fit into a chicken’s eggshell.
You can order the PDF instructions from my etsy shop at this L I N K
Here’s a closer look at the flock:
In celebration of Springtime, there is the Tiny Chick.
And in hopes of Peace, there is the Dove of Peace and Harmony:
Since life is a dance between the Birds of Sorrow and the Blue Birds of Happiness… here they are:
And speaking of the dance, we all need to dance as wildly as we can manage at times, so here’s a little Flamingo with awkward legs to trip along in a small, but hopeful dance:
Pigeons have a lot to teach us about unexpected beauty (look closely at their iridescence!) and their clever persistence.
And, on a personal note, my daughter’s beloved Quaker Parrot was almost 25 years old when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge a couple of weeks ago. So, it was really important to me to weave my daughter and grandson each a Comfort Tiny Quaker Parrot in homage to and memory of a dear little Feather Friend that we all loved so much! (yes, I did shed tears in the weavings of this Tiny Feather Friend)…
Feel free to weave up Tiny Birds of Hope in homage to your favorite birds, real or imaginary. The Tiny Birds of Hope can hold things in their Hugging Wings or hang out on the end of your pen or pencil or on a houseplant or in a pocket and give you a hug whenever you need one.
The Tiny Birds of Hope are part of my Weaving Kindness Project that is all about saying to yourself and to everyone in your life:
“You matter! I wish you well! Take and give care!”
May the Weaving Kindness project be like a lovely cup of tea ,that brings refreshment and healing and restoration to all concerned. Hugs all round!!!!
