Global Crafts Chickadee Bird Ornament, 5 in Hand Felted Wool Songbird

Global Crafts Chickadee Bird Ornament, 5 in Hand Felted Wool Songbird

• SOLID CHICKADEE COLORING: The bird is worked in the chickadee's own palette, the dark cap and bib against a soft body, in solid felted color rather than surface print. At 5 in it reads clearly from across a room, and the slight differences in shaping from one bird to the next come from the hand that made it.
• NATURAL WOOL, AZO-FREE DYES: Built from 100 percent natural wool that is wetted and worked until the fibers bind into one dense mass, then colored with azo-free dyes. There is nothing rigid inside to snap, which makes it a forgiving alternative to glass in a house with a busy tree and a lot of traffic around it.
• HANGS INDOORS OR OUT: A string loop is attached and ready, so it goes onto a branch, a hook, a garland or a wreath frame with no extra hardware. Wool sheds water and holds its shape, so it can live on a sheltered porch or an outdoor evergreen through the season as easily as on the tree in the front room.
• WOODLAND AND WILDLIFE THEMES: Group it with other forest creatures for a woodland tree, line several along a mantel garland, or hang one on a gift box as a topper that outlasts the wrapping. An information card comes with it, which makes it a ready present for a birder, a hostess or anyone building a bird collection.
• GLOBAL SOUTH FELTING WORKSHOPS: Hand felting is patient, repetitive work, and it supports whole workshops of makers in the global south. Global Crafts is a member of the Fair Trade Federation; buying a bird like this one converts into consistent orders and stable earnings for the people who shape them.
