PBK fabric and felt bird mobile

I have been working on these baby mobiles for awhile now..finally have them finished..I had four going at the same time..

 

I really enjoy combining different mediums and crafts..My love for both felt and fabric and hand embroidery were utilized in these creations.

 

This mobile was created from the gorgeous Pottery Barn fabric pillow shams I purchased..Bought them specifically to repurpose the fabric..So I created some stuffed and plush birdies..using the fabric combined with different colored felt...I also elaborated on the flower pattern of the fabric adding detailed petals to the already present stitched designs..

 

I then handcrafted some various rosebuds in different sizes and colors and even with different methods of creation..I found some very nice branches around town and painted each to coordinate with the various color patterns of each mobile..and voila!

 

Each mobile can either be hung..or perched as a shelf sitter..as the branches were selected with just the right amount of knots and stability for that purpose..
