Hand-Knitted Birds are a Cuddly Homage to Our Feathered Friends

Eliz­a­beth Beer & Bri­an Janu­si­ak are the mas­ter­minds behind Var­i­ous Projects, Inc. a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary cre­ative col­lab­o­ra­tion that start­ed in 2005. One of their ongo­ing projects is called Bird­watch­ing, and it’s a cud­dly homage to our feath­ered friends. The first sub­ject was a hand-knit pigeon, but it only grew from there. Now, there’s an “ever-grow­ing flock of state and region­al birds.” The Blue Jay, Car­di­nal, Car­oli­na Wren, and Mourn­ing Dove are just some of the charm­ing soft sculp­tures avail­able in their Project No. 8 online shop.
