You might have noticed that pigeons feature a lot in my designs, I think it's because they are such a big part of living in Blackpool! (and well indeed any town or city..) I like to watch them move around, I think they're fun characters. Contrary to popular opinion, I think pigeons are cute and I love their iridescent colouing. It makes for an interesting design: matt grey with a variety of bold colours. You might have guessed that this is a feature of my crafting! As is felt (and stuffing), which is what this little fellow is made out of.
If you look at my slideshow you will also see that I've made a pigeon dangly before for a friend who is also a fan of these feathery town centre familiars. But now I wanted one for myself! They make for interesting, simple designs because you can keep the original piece quite basic but introduce bright colours on, say, a piece of ribbon or cord, to bring him to life. He didn't take me long to make, about an hour and a half, but now that I've experimented with him I might make a few more to list on Folksy. So if you too are a pigeon fancier then keep your eyes peeled for more pigeon-related gifts!
