BIRD ILLUSTRATIONS

I love birds. Ask anybody who knows me well. I even used birds as a theme at my wedding. And I've noticed that I'm not alone. Lately, I've seen birds as the subject of artwork all over the place. 

Birds on notecards...

Birds on dinnerware...

Bird mobiles...

And, of course, bird appliques on everything sewable, especially blankets and pillows...

( Birds on Branch @ decaf plush )

Being a bird lover, I enjoy seeing the surplus of bird-inspired artwork that's on store shelves everwhere, and I'm always searching for new ways that people have used bird imagery in their home decor. Which is why I thought it was a fantastic idea when Jake suggested to me the project of making drink coasters out of four bird illustrations he drew recently. 

Here are the illustrations:

Won't those make fabulous coasters? 

Our goal is to have them up and for sale on our Etsy page within the week - cross our fingers. But whenever it happens,  I'll be sure to let you all know!

Jake is also working on another set of coasters, too, hopefully to follow close behind the bird ones on Etsy. He's calling it the "Sea Garden" line, I believe. If you'd like, you can check out the illustrations for those coasters on Jake's blog. They make me giggle.
