“Sharp suited in red, black and white, George the Greater Spotted Woodpecker is a dapper chap. Gentleman George is also the drummer in the band. He hammers out his rhythms, with beak on bark, there’s echoing beat as he makes his mark.”

George the Greater Spotted Woodpecker is made from black and white houndstooth, oatmeal and  red Harris tweed with black Yorkshire wool tweed. He has a beady little black resin button eye. The details on his face have been needle felted from natural merino fibres. 

The layers of tweed have been needle felted, free motion embroidered together and backed with vintage leather, most of which were my grandads samples from his days as the manager of Leeds Tannery in the 1960’s.

As the samples came in postcard size pieces of all colours and styles, the leather used to back your keyring may be different from the picture. The keyring is copper riveted together and has a 2.5cm copper split ring.

He measures approximately 6 x 10cm

George comes displayed on a manilla luggage label.

Because all of my tweedy birds are hand made, they all have a distinct personality. There may be small differences between yours and the one in the picture
