Description:

As before: • No smaller than 2.5" or larger than 10" (not including tail feathers!).Anything smaller than 2.5" is just too small, I think, and larger than 10" gets a bit overwhelming (and more expensive to mail!).

• Made with whatever materials/mediums you prefer-fabric, paper, yarn, metal, etc., etc. !

• Please be sure your bird :

has a hanger of some sort

has a beak and wings separate from its body (not the beak-I mean it should have a beak!).

is sturdy-so use some sort of padding in between the fabric or paper layers if you are using one of those materials.

has a word of encouragement/positive thinking ie "dream", "fly".. attached somehow. This can be in whatever form you like-a charm, handwritten, embroidered, etc.

has a tail

is something you will be proud to send (as if I need to say that!).

Because these are not dotees they do not have to have a tail in the manner of a dotee doll. Their own tails will suffice! :D

Here is the link to the 1st swap with templates! ( I posted it in the comments as well): ![birds](Little birds swap #1-INT)

I did a swap similar to this a while back on another site. The hostess actually made a template everyone could download, then transfer it to a thin cardboard... it worked pretty cool & all the birds were uniform. Just mentioning it...

Hmm..I do believe I have such templates posted in the comments section of one of the previous swaps in this series...

Also I have my own template I could upload for everyone. I just have to figure out how to do that! My latest bird is not made with that pattern and They do not have to be particularly realistic or uniform. I enjoy the variety, actually.

I will, though, try to find that previous swap and at least include the link for now. :D
