On DeviantArt, your deviations are paramount, and we want to present them in the best way possible, even in thumbnail form. Over the past few months, we've been working on a new thumbnail grid that maintains the integrity of your deviations, no matter their dimensions or content types. Our goal is to be better at displaying art than any other site on the Internet.

Sewing fabric birds is new to me, and it is a 100% self taught hobby (credit for the pattern goes to Fern and Freckle). I was inspired by the colourful and vibrant finches Charles Dawrin collected and researched, so these hand-stitched finches are my twist on the tiny birds from the Galapagos. I take great joy in learning different stitches, making unique colour pairings, and designing finches to suit a theme. Because they take about half a day to create (*if nothing goes wrong, that is*) my uploads are sporadic, but as my skill increases, I may be able to complete and post pictures of 2 different birds in one day. Wish me luck!
