I said I was going to do it, and I did.

You may remember that a few days back, I announced that I had solved that eternal question, the one which vexes all men. My friends, if you, too, have ever asked yourselves, "Self? Is... is that bird wearing a tiny pirate hat?" then rejoice! Rejoice and be glad. For I have the answer.

I give you, ladies and gentlemen... Jack Sparrow.





PLEASE OBSERVE TINY SPARROW ORNAMENT AT THE BOTTOM. And no, you do not want to know how long it took me to make a tiny pirate hat for a tiny bird whose tiny head was never designed to wear a tiny hat.





Yes, this is a bad picture. Yes, that is a tiny fake bottle of rum that says 'XXXX' on it. And yes, that is a BRING ME THE MEDALLIOOOOOON.

You rock geekery in the most unique ways.

These were totes only ever meant to be random decorative things made from the convenient simultaneous finds of cage-shaped baubles, and bauble-sized birds. And so the first one was. But when I started theming them, I knew it was only a matter of time before I wound up making fandom birds.

I have an adorable red cardinal, but it would be such a waste of money to buy a bunch of Barbies/Kens/whatevers just to rip their heads off to dangle beneath a Sleepy Hollow birdcage. Right? Right?
