Lately, I have been incorporating vintage handkerchiefs in my pieces. Although I typically use fabric, this is the first time I have used handkerchiefs. I find them at thrift stores and then incorporate them into a range of pieces. Here, I have both a bird and a ring made from one handkerchief. It was a fun challenge to use the handkerchief in just the right way to get the right pattern that I wanted on the bird (the white belly seemed necessary). The ring was made using a few leftover scraps.

I have a couple vintage hankies that I want to use in a sewing project. Love how Jenny incorporated hers into ornaments and jewelry. Now that's unique!
I love the colors you used in these pieces Jenny!
Beautiful work, Jenny! I agree with Nancy that I love the colors.
Beautiful! I really like the way you used the design on the bird and the ring. Nicely done!
