This is George, a little wren (or sparrow) I made as a commission. That's him sitting on the back of Mossy the Moose in the second picture. I love him because he's got a little tilt to him, and he was very well received!

Rusty
Still going with the wrens! This is Rusty (Ruuuuusty the Snowmaaaan!) - no, Rusty the wren, with his little brown chequered stripe to the wings. In the meantime, Sid (second from the left in the last picture) has found a home!

Sid
When I took Murphy (Murphy the wren) into the Art & Craft Centre last week, I had one lady buy him and another put an order in for one! That, along with some positive comments online, made me think that I should make some more. They are one of those things that take a while to make, and don't sell for very much (they are £12 each), but on the other hand, at least that's something, and they are very good for using up mohair scraps - which I have tons and tons of!
So, this is my wren-making week, except that - because of the different colour fabrics - they don't all look like wrens. This, for example, is Sidney, made out of the remnants of what was a very expensive antique German mohair. It's quite a scruffy, distressed-looking fabric with lots of bald patches (highly prized in teddy bears!) so he looks a bit of a scrapper. He even looked like he was going to take on the cat in one photo. But perhaps more a sparrow than a wren?
