Ikea inspired bird figures
🕑 Added 2024-03-17 21:32:04 +0000 UTCYesterday my parter and I went to the Conshohocken IKEA and my absolute favorite purchase were these wooden "DVÄRGTALL" figures
Feeling inspired I used the silhouettes of some birds I've drawn in the past and inflated them in Illustrator (the extent of my 3D abilities) to surprisingly satisfying results!

I absolutely bought these birds too! lol

Totally makes sense!! I wish I could attach photos here, but I found the felted birds of a White Breasted nuthatch and a Blackburnian Warbler. They are so cute! I feel like the wooden birds could be figurative/shapey still but then have painted features that are specific to a bird species - like a White Throated Sparrow could be easy to do!

Target has some cute birds too for the holidays!

Thank you so much Megan!! I totally agree. My issue is that I both love things that are more figurative/shapey... but I also want it to be a specific species of bird rather than just an "everybird" if that makes any sense 😆

I love this idea! I'm always on the hunt for cute bird figurines like this. I've found some really cute felted warblers before in a small shop. But otherwise it's hit or miss.
