“Shy Billy Bullfinch is a secret eater. You may glimpse him in the springtime orchard, when his love of buds draws him out of hiding. But if he sees you, he’ll nod his black cap, and this little blushing boy will vanish once more.”

Billy Bullfinch is made from pink and purple flecked Harris tweed with black and lilac Yorkshire tweed. He has a beady little black resin button eye. The details on his body 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

Billy 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.
