My love of birds began many years ago when I rescued my first bird, a mourning dove. A cat was stalking it and I was probably 16 years old and thought that did not look OK. So I scared away the cat and the dove must have been a pet as it came right to me....very easy rescue. So began my journey to become the LadyWhoLovesBirds.
I have come to not only be a lover of birds, but an avid conservationist and educator about birds. I want to share my love of birds but also help individuals know how they can help birds. So much of the time people take wildlife for granted and don't realize that birds and all wildlife need our help. Even a bowl of water can make a big difference especially during the summer months or during a drought as we are experiencing in California. You can read what I have to say about this in my blog: click here.
The work you see below are my own designs of the birds (and others) I love. I have used two mediums to create this original work: watercolor and the wax resist technique of BATIK. Then I use my designs to create greeting cards primarily, heavy duty canvas tote bags and delicate bird ornaments. All of these gifts for bird lovers are like no others you will find. My designs are completely original.

The TOTES or MARKET BAGS make wonderful GIFTS FOR BIRD LOVERS. Completely reusable, washable (turn inside out, cold water, very light dry), sturdy and as large as a standard market bag, I have piled mine full of heavy items and never have felt like I was taxing its strength.
The GREETING CARDS are perfect for the bird lover in your life. I make them entirely myself. I print them individually and hand decorate them. Most of the cards have a delicate addition of ultrafine silver glitter creating a subtle sparkle. I offer choices for all my GREETING CARDS. A STANDARD Card includes customization of both the front and the back of the card. You can change a birthday card to a Mother's Day card, for example. And on the back, it can be personalized for your recipient. ("Especially made for Ruby!") Other options include INSIDE PRINTING and SILK CARDS. I offer a substantial discount for 10 or more cards, which includes free shipping, gift wrapping, and the cards come in a lovely, gold or silver-foil box.
THE PAPER ORNAMENTS are very sweet and are charming gifts for bird lovers and not offered very often. So if you don't see them, you can make a request. Again, I hand make these paper ornaments from my original designs. I print them up, cut them out, hand decorate them adding glitter and little silver bells from India. I hang my paper ornaments year round. I have one hanging in my car from my mirror; I have a set of three in the kitchen on the wall-my little kitchen birds of good luck; I hang one from my pull chain for the overhead fan; and I also hang them in the window. They are two-sided so visible inside and out. They are very sweet and completely unique and sure to please any lover of birds.
