Back to the bench and more birds

It has been a busy few weeks working on the redisplay of objects at Whitby Museum for the Precious Cargo project so I have had very little time in the workshop.  It did quickly make a pair of bird earrings last week and then wore them when I went to do a talk for the Scarborough Decorative and Fine Arts Society on Wednesday.

This sketch was a doodle I did in February 2011

These are part of my Bird a Week challenge.   I really liked them so decided to make another, larger pair today.

This pair are slightly more dimensional as I hammered them more to give them a bit of a curve.
