Welcome to my shop full of needle felt birds, artfully made in wool and natural fibres.

I am busy felting new birds and making plans for some exciting new collections for 2026. I only add finished birds to my Folksy shop, so you can rest assured they can be posted within 24 hours of ordering and will fly safely to you or a gift recipient within a few days.

If you would like to learn more about me or my work as Mindful Felting, you can now visit my brand new webpage mindfulfelting.co.uk or follow me on Instagram or Facebook @MindfulFelting It would be great to share my making process as well as the finished birds with you!

Warm regards,
Jacqui

Birds of all sizes artfully made in natural fibres

I'm Jacqui Double and I hand-make all the birds you see here using needlefelt craft techniques from plant and sheared animal fibres, foraged dried flowers, beachcombed driftwood or ethically and sustainably sourced bark pieces.

Here are some things you might not know about me, just in case you are feeling curious:

+ I started making birds in 2022 after I had Covid and didn’t fully recover my health
+ I hand-make birds using needle-felt techniques, which involves manipulating wool and plant fibres using sharp, barbed needles
+ Inspiration comes from watching birds on the beach, on holidays and bike rides, at reserves or in my garden
+ for me, catching the pose of a bird as if it could simply fly away is my goal
+ I concentrate on bird and botanical sculpture, inspired by amazing artists like
Elizabeth Gould and J.J.Audubon
+ My favourite bird is the sea-piercing, wind-riding, sharp-eyed Gannet
+ Beach-combing for wood along the Kent coast gives me a daily beach walk
+ I have a one-eared, black and white cat called Puddington who is too old to trouble any birds in my garden
