More American songbirds from the Singer series.
I just finished a few more birds in the series of American song birds put out on advertising cards by Singer Sewing Machines around the turn of the century. There were 14 birds in the series and some I will probably not do again as I tend to only paint birds from my garden...
All buttons are hand painted by me and there are no transfers. They are meant for decorative or collective purposes and are not washable.. Each finished button received several coats of an acyrilic sealer to protect them. They are lovely on needlework and made into jewelry

Love them :)
Your painted birds are some of the dearest treasures I own. So glad to see you painting more. I'm sending you more buttons as soon as I come up for air. Only six or eight (I can't remember) but they are the bigger ones. Love to you Ger, Susan
Love these bird cards and buttons. I have some cards that were put out by Arm and Hammer and have printed silkies from them. Not sure if they're copyright protected or not.
