Having moved to Australia from the UK in 2012 Robyn draws her inspiration from the noisy colourful birds that visit her at her home outside Melbourne. Combining this with an obsession with colour , pattern and retro fabric and a childhood fascination with Victorian Taxidermy Museums, she creates Faux Taxidermy birds from reclaimed and retro fabric.
Her birds contain many hours of hand stitching and embroidery, the fabric is manipulated in various ways to mimic feathers. Some birds are inspired by real birds , mainly native to Australia, some are straight from her imagination.
Each of Robyn’s birds are unique & have their own character. Some of them wear hats.
