These are a start of a collection of frame pieces i am making for my British birds project. i've used a combination of card, fabric and shrinking plastic. i really love the detailed pieces of fabric and they work alot better when mixed with different textures and colours.

For my project on British birds, i've decided to concentrate on objects related to birds and mainly on the Curlew bird.

I've never tried out shrinking plastic before so i thought i'd see how this would work with my existing images.

I like the fact i didn't know the exact size they would turn out and it gives a good balance of media and texture to my pieces.

This is a piece my sister Grace and I made for a present. We had an idea of mixing our projects together so this opportunity was a good excuse to do so.

I really enjoyed collaborating our work and will definitely be doing similar projects in the future.
