I am an artist & Print-maker from Cornwall. My inspiration is taken almost exclusively from my local environment, I am fascinated with nature & the hedgerows, I sit for hours looking at birds flitting in & out not necessarily to draw them in great detail (I love looking at all of my bird & insect books to do that) but to get a really good idea of the way they move & stand so that I can get the feel of them right…. I hope you enjoy coming to look, let me know if you have any questions info@loutonkin.co.uk
Very best wishes,
Lou
How I love these tiny birds…
Your little birds are delightful and so accurate too. Each one is a tiny work of art.
Your needle-case birds are so beautiful – their live counterparts visit our garden every day and bring us much joy.
so beautiful and perfect depictions of these pretty birds x
Thank you all for your lovely comments xx
I want to know how you got started or I guess a better question is how/what would you recommend to begin felting? I love your work! I’m eager to learn.
You could do a workshop to start? Where are you based, the next workshop for me is on the 9th June on the Welsh borders it promises to be an excellent one on Kate Humble’s farm. http://humblebynature.com/whats-on/view/848

I have a shop in The Lost Gardens of Heligan but let me know when you are coming so I can make sure I’m there as it will be the summer holidays,
