Why do we keep useless junk? A big question for me at the moment but clearly a family trait! Here is an iron chicken made out of scissors found in my Auntie Jean's stash. Why did she need so many? Who knows!
The scissors have been securely stitched onto a velvet shape mounted on deep red hessian, with comb and wattle made out of safety pins (also in the stash). The tail feathers are loops of measuring tape.
It is a gift for my cousin Sarah for her birthday. Like Auntie Jean, she keeps a menagerie of poultry and I think she'll like the recycling theme. A nice way to remember our much loved aunt.
