Mourning dove nest

Here's the pin in action. A mourning dove's nest with the usual clutch of two eggs.



There's leftover material which may end up in another destination! 

Back to weaving hats and stitching constellations.

  2. That's just plain awwwww-some. I never would have thought of a bird nest pin but how appropriate.

    1. It's the kind of thing that becomes apparent as you go. The nest is a coiled length of Icord. I soaked it and hung it with a weight to dry. The eggs I drew up around the edges, then soaked and rolled in my hands to shape them. Not felted, just shaped. It was very cooperative.
