Here are my new images which will end up on totes and bags. These boot-wearing birds are inspired by the trivet I got in France. And boots seemed fitting with the winter season coming on. I had lots of fun painting them and have visions of matching the boots to the leather trim on the totes.
In addition I got some new pottery at Clay Design, one of my favourite Toronto shops. The beautiful bowl and mug are by Denise Buckley–her colours and whimsical images are so appealing.
Love the new images, looking forward to seeing the bags that will go with them.
I can’t decide which booted bird I like better!
I LOVE my cousins! Thanks so much for the comments.

Just browsing and found your WONDERFUL site. Talk about a morning pick-me-up with coffee. I’m boggled by you talent, love of colour, pics of things I love to take pictures of such as old stone walls with bits of sweet colour, old French doors and arches, small items with birds on them, and “The County”. Also visited your Etsy site, very nice. If I knew you, I’d have to empty a closet in my house to stash every bag you’ve made, should I be rich enough to purchase them all. I have a good friend who Hooks, and she’s been after me to get into this craft with her, have done a trivet so far. She’s VERY good also and very passionate about it. Your rugs are Fabulous. All the Best.
Thank you for your generous comments. You certainly gave me a lift!
If you are close to the County, you might want to attend my November shows. Let me know at xine@birdbraindesigns.ca and I will send you an invitation.
