Irish Birds
 
I have given each bird its Irish name. I’ve chosen four birds that I love and that are commonly seen in the Irish countryside and on my bird table here in Ballivor. 
 
Meantan Gorm or Blue Tit which is one of our most colourful birds and a common visitor to my bird feeder.
 
Each piece is made on cotton that is printed with my design and then stitched by machine and by hand. A layer of wadding is added to create a relief effect after stitching.
