“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 fabric have been appliquéd together and backed with black felt. He fastens with a 2.5cm silver tone bar brooch back.

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
