Hand drawn illustrations delicately transferred into etched wooden decorations for your home. Lily Faith gathers inspiration in her constant companion, her sketchbook, gleaning ideas from the hedgerow and travels beyond her native Devon. These sketchbooks are her visual reference library, that tell tales of adventure and travel to continents near and far, but also of the friends that visit the Bird Table insight of her studio. With a passion for colour and the play of pattern, scale and mark making, Lily Faith loves to create interior embellishments with humble materials.

Nuthatch tassel earrings

Fresh from the Studio:

Hello from my new desk, apologies for the radio silence, it’s been a hell of a few days, but we are moved and relatively settled. I hope to have things to show you soon, but for now this is the new home of Lily Faith - for now! #newhome #settled #newdesk #studio #studiodaily #studiostyle #hotdesk #deskoftheday #studiosunshine #nestandthrive #nestandflourish #maker #makersmovement
The walls are bare and the cupboards too. Perfect for making these silhouettes in the early Autumn sunshine this afternoon. Why is it, when you should be packing down the studio the orders come in and inspiration strikes! Perhaps it’s just diversion tactics. #bullfinch #silhouette #afternoonshadow #autumnshadows #earlyautumn #autumnlight #movinghouse #movingon #barewalls #barewallsareboring
Oh how I love this slice of Devon, it has been ever so kind to us, enabled us to dream, plot and scheme. But also it has been where we have made friends, got married and revelled under the stars. It was so heavenly to have one more sunset walk around the lake. #anotherdayindevon #anotherday #anothersunset #sunset #sunsetonthelake #devon #devonisheaven #lakelife #ourhome #cornerofmyworld #nestandthrive #nestandflourish #outdoorliving #naturalpalette
There’s a bit of a nip in the air today, and rather a lot of condensation on the windows. Time to dig out the slippers, and the big fluffy jumpers. I am gearing up for some birds to make some migrations before we make our own move next week. Ooh there’s a lot to do, before I can pack up my studio ever so briefly! It’s all a little daunting, but it’s going to be ok . . .

Apologies for the silence over the weekend, I was having a lot of fun on London. That feels like a bit of an oxymoron for the country girl that I am, but I think I only frequented London’s green spaces and nothing too busy apart from the tube. Yesterday was back to the grind, and today back to the bus. But last night I was packing up these orders whilst talking to my Exeter Etsy pals. We were working out the finer details for our makers, and hope to be letting you lovely lot know soon. In the meantime, if you fancy finding some bird tassel earrings in a shop or gallery near you, let me know who I should be approaching in the coming weeks. I’d love some birds flying off to new locations ready for the winter season. #tasselearrings #birdtasselearrings #birdsofafeather #robin #nuthatch #goldfinch #bluetit #wren #bullfinch #abellowoffinches #birdsofinstagram #birdladies #birdersunite #ornithologist #ornithology #birdloversdaily #makersmovement #laseretched #handpainted #studiodaily #studiodarling
What have you been up to this Wednesday? Today I got up with the birds and took some shots in the studio, of what I’ve been playing with in my sketchbook. It’s too soon to say anything about the festive season. But let’s just say I’ve been thinking about it, and all it’s tasselled glory. Let’s be honest. I’ve made some samples and I’m just really flipping looking forward to the gold tassels arriving. Oooooh metallic tassels. #robinbird #robincollection #robinredbreast #festivethoughts #festive #festivemakes #decorations #embellishments #treedecorating #treedecorations #achangeinseason #changeofseasons #sketchbooktour #sketchbook #birddays #ornithology #ornithologist
A perfect day: we pretended we are on holiday, because all of our other attempts at holidays this summer have been a little unsuccessful. So today we were tourists on our own county and headed to Branscombe. And what fun we’ve had, we went and had lunch at the glorious @theoldbakery_branscombe and caught up with my dear pal Emily, who’s making a wonderful job of being hostess with the mostest. I did cheekily drop off some stock and it was lovely to see some old feathered friends in gorgeous surroundings. And feed the friendly Robins the leftover pastry from my pie. If you need a little retreat, I would heartily recommend an afternoon in their care. #theoldbakerybranscombe #branscombe #branscombe #holidayforaday #tourists #touristinourowncounty #devonisheaven #devon #robinbird #robin #bullfinch #bullfinchwreath #wreathmaker #wreaths #wreathdesign #foraged #seedheads #honesty #loveinthemist #papercut #papercutleaves #handpainted #laseretch #nestandthrive #nestandflourish #outsideinside #interiorwreath
Happy Wednesday folks, today I have a spring I my step and finally feel much improved from the weekend. Hoorah! At peak feeling low, I made myself a pick me up brooch, using items I found on my bench, I rarely make things for myself, so this was a real treat. The Brady or Hawk-eyed (ahem) of you might have noticed the slight name change. I feel that I’ve moved on from my painting and printing days a little and that @lily_faith_birds reflects my work in a more direct way. #nuthatch #nuthatchbird #nuthatches #nuthatchesofinstagram #brooch #birdbrooch #birdsofafeather #nestandthrive #nestandflourish #dailystudio #dailyart #birdlady #namechange #changethename #lilyfaith #lilyfaithbirds
Well today hasn’t quite got to plan, but still a little quiet progress has been made. Darling Jim and I have had a bout of food poisoning - deep joy! Instead helping out our pal @erincoxjewellery with a lot of paint. But there’s always tomorrow right. Instead I’ve read a book, snuggled with the dog, watched some really questionable things on Netflix and finally drilled some holes and pop these little birds on to earring hooks. What have you been up to this blustery Sunday? #robinbird #robin #tasselearrings #birdearrings #birdsofafeather #bird #birds #robins #nestandthrive #nestandflourish #nest #ornithology #ornithologist #nativespecies #nativebirds #britishbirds #robinredbreast #tassels #handpainted #lasercut #laseretch #lilyfaith
