A handmade, bobbin-lace bird. Could be a swan or a duck.

It's from the 80s so it would make a vintage gift for bird-loving parents, maybe a trophy for a bird-hunter. Nellie made this swan as part of her course to learn how to create bobbin-lace. This is a rather figurative peace. She can't recall exactly, but she estimated it took her about 30 - 40 wooden bobbin lace pins to create this art, and a couple of weeks of labor.

The wires were linen, and because they are a bit old, they might turn beige instead of white. It's a bit of a small bird, as seen by the sizes, but that doesn't mean it was easier for her to make.

If you have any aditional questions on this piece, feel to ask. We're a European (dutch) based family, so our timezone might be slightly different from yours - and we could respond on a rather unusual time. As it has been in the closet for so long, it's not possible to make any adjustments or add Personalization.

Some things to take into consideration:
All measurements are in cm's and converted.
The rulers in the pictures use centimeters or millimeters. 1 cm = 10 mm = 0,393700787 inch.
These handmade products are the results of Nellies training and bobbin lace lessons. Some of them are over 40 years old and have some wear and tear. For adding some vintage look (mid 20th century) to your wedding or a room. Because the products are handmade, there might be some mistakes while making the lace. If Nellie noticed it on time, she would fix it. If not, she will just keep pointing out where she went sloppy (because one of us was having a school-emergency) or made a mistake (obviously not her fault, but originated in some kind of drama in her big family)
All the artist impressions are just that: an impression how to use these products. Feel to ask any questions or extra pictures.
If you want to order multiple products, ask for a 'how do they look together' picture.
Products are shipped in a small-sized box, with some re-used cardboard. The bobbin lace is not attached to the paper, so it could be wringled if your post-service-person really likes to swing those boxes
I ship using dutch Postnl, with a track and trace. Flying it across an ocean might cost some time. Are you really looking for the quickest way to get it, just contact us and we will see what kind of shipping company can deliver at what costs.
