’Bout time I got back to my coasters, huh? I always wanted to do a set of four unique coasters, but I ended up getting sidetracked after the magpie. But now I’ve returned to finish off the set! I chose to do a Cedar Waxwing for the third pattern.

I really love cedar waxwings! (I think I say that for every bird pattern I’ve made though, haha). At my parents’ place, there’s a mountain ash right outside the kitchen window. During the summer we always get a big flock of waxwings that descend on it and devour the berries. And if there’s any left in the winter, we get some bohemian waxwings too! I chose the cedar over bohemian waxwing for this pattern because I think the yellow underbelly is nicer for a coaster than the bohemian’s grey underbelly.

I won’t be releasing these patterns as individual printable PDFs because I intend to bundle them up in my very own Bird of Alberta book. So please wait for that!
