morning doves.

yes, doves that were made this morning that is!
getting ready for the renegade craft fair in san francisco this year. figured with baby em in tow i ought to be in my home town with helpers! em on my back and crafts on the tables! summer fun!!
i have been busy sculpting up a new batch of 'dear doves' nests!
since my old birds (feather and foam craft birds) are now officially extinct i have been making my own. these are a second version of the first built-by-me-doves. i feel like these have a daintier look and feel more like the original birds. what do you think?

the new hatchlings...a.k.a. my spring ~ fling

the story goes a lil' something like this:
the birds i used to use in my beloved "dear doves" cake topper are fast becoming extinct. and what can i do, you say?
make 'em myself!
after a little bit if shaping and reshaping and a trip to the toaster oven here we have it - the newest mosey hatchlings! each named after a different flower from my garden and available in the shop.

mosey gets some bridal love!

i have been so excited by the response to my nests! here are some lovely wedding blogs who featured some mosey nests!:
