Information

      This design is a remix of a birdfeeder I created during a time when I felt discouraged and uncertain about continuing my work. Designing that first feeder changed everything—it received so much positive feedback and even sold quickly, which gave me a huge boost of confidence and reignited my passion for creating. Since then, I’ve developed several new versions of that design, each one building on that first success. This particular birdfeeder also marked my very first time working with acrylic—a material I was initially intimidated by. To my surprise, it turned out beautifully and gave me the courage to explore new materials in my future projects.
