Nest (Song Thrush)

Description

The magic of a nest in these hand sized wool felt nest … I created this due to my love of nests. This nest with is blue speckled eggs is based on the song thrush nest. The song thrushs eggs are usually pale blue with brown and red-coloured freckles and they are usually built in the fork of a tree or bush. The nest is constructed from grass, plants, roots, moss and mud. The song thrush can lay 4 or 5 eggs per brood, with two broods occurring each year! 

That wonderful feeling when you spot a nest … that secret sacred place, woven with such care, lined with cow web silk, nose, feathers, wool and then with the utterly beautiful treasure of eggs laid inside.

I wanted to create a nest for our home nature table/ alter … and these wool nest came into being.

A crochet nest made from our organic wool and then needle felted into with the details of the gathered material lining it ( all in wool )and then three woollen eggs.
