about me



Hi and welcome to Leggy Bird Designs
I'm Mel, a colour loving artist, bringing a little whimsy into your world!

I create whimsical and quirky sculptures, playful picutres and one of a kind wearable art using the delicate and inctricate art of quilling. My work is all about embracing bold, bright colours and transforming them into joyful pieces that spark happiness and curiosity.

As a late diagnosed ADHD-er and homeschooling single Mum of four amazing humans, I juggle the busyness of creativity and parenting with a lot of laughter, a touch of sarcasm and plenty of cups of tea. My art is my passion and my way of sharing a bit of joy with the world.

When I'm not creating, you'll find me either walking on the beach or dancing Lindy Hop as well as experimenting with new ideas.  Deep, meaningful conversations about important stuff accompanied by laughing and fun.
