Lazy bum that I am, without even investigating Beddug Wyn Humphreys further after seeing her contribution to Hannah Marshall ‘s AW08-9 lookbook, a reader helpfully sent me the link(note to self: must improve Googling skills or perhaps there was a typo in the lookbook...) and now I’m intent on dressing my head with birds to of course re-enact scenes from Disney’s Fantasia, the Pastoral Symphony portion where pretty centaurettes prance around with birds fluttering around them. Ok, can’t really replicate the lower half of a horse’s body but Disney birds I can do with Buddug’s head bands. Buddug Wyn Humphreys hails from Snowdonia in North Wales and there is much to say about how her background has influenced her work. Her various collections of jewellery are concerned with using unusual materials and unique finishing but it’s the birds that I’m after. This is the sort of taxidermy effect which is just a step up from my feather obsession

The black crow is the one I’m immediately drawn to just because it would be fun to confuse people with a black bird and veiled pillbox hat on my head.... sadly, it isn’t available on the e-shop so I must email Buddug pronto!

The coloured birds are getting more to that Disney Fantasia territory....

The white doves on rings and hair slides are a subtler approach but of course the rings must be combined with a kissing bird headband (the ones with two birds)!
