nests and french vintage...

I found the inspiration for this...(linen& bead bird nest brooch)

from this...French Inspired jewelry, by Kaari Meng.

It is full of the most beautiful exquisite images.

I also found a way to use some of my recent bird creations...here is one holding a short scarf around my neck.

I spent a good chunk of the long weekend working on this green and red stripey one. It is finished, finally, but weaving the ends in took longer than the crocheting of it! Does anyone have any tips to make this process faster??

I'm loving your scarves Kate, the stitch pattern is such a lovely texture. Try this to avoid having to weave ends in at the finish. http://www.knittinganyway.com/freethings/russianjoin.htm
