carrier

Oh, how I'd love to received such a card!

perching pigeon party

This pigeon making party in London looked like a gem. I really wish I'd been able to make it!
Anna over at mochimochiland is offering the pigeon knitting pattern for free over on her blog too.
I'm definitely going to make a couple!

pigeon post (part 2)

A nice card I received in the post from Lucy.


Although of course I don't consider pigeons to be vermin.

glass pigeon


A gift from the very talented Matthew Nickels.
I think I may turn it into a brooch.

Pop along to the Open House at York Place Studios to see a piece of his stained glass.

52 & a pigeon


Here's a rubber pigeon my mum gave me a while ago. It really smells quite bad so I should keep it outside but I'm worried about it getting blown away with the wind like my other little bird.

I took it out briefly the other day though while I snapped this picture for the Fifty-Two exhibition being organised by Camilla and Claire of Calm Air All Ice.

No picture is complete without a rubber pigeon.

A money pigeon!
Found in the Brighton Museum shop (and half price too).

poetry

Rosie found this pigeon poem in the newspaper the other day.
I really don't understand poetry but I think it's worth a mention.

Confusing? I guess it's hard to find a word to rhyme with pigeon so it's a tricky place to start.

museum

Found out today that there is a whole museum dedicated to pigeons in Oklahoma: World of Wings
The website could do with a bit of a makeover, but I'm still keen to go. There are some pretty smart pigeons in the world:

2. Pin cushion bracelets
3. Badge set
4. Pigeons of Trafalgar Square wallet
