I promised myself, after the first two punchneedle birds, that I would create brighter 'plumage' on future birds. And so, here is a bird to brighten the day. What a pleasure to sit here on a cold wintry day working with these bright colors and seeing a colorful bird appear beneath my fingertips. Say the words 'follow me' quite rapidly and you'll hear the sound of his call.
"Birds have wings; they're free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy". - Roger Tory Peterson
He is adorable! I love birds. I could sit and watch them at my feeder all day. Sometimes on weekends I actually do that!
ReplyDeleteI love birds also. Last night we saw a program on the birds of New Guinea -- I fell asleep later that night pretending I was in the blind watching those lovely creatures display their colors.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't want to follow such a beautiful and colorful bird!
ReplyDeleteI think this is my favorite of your punch-needle bird series so far. He's so colorful! The triangles suggest plumage for certain, but they also resemble arrows pointing in all directions. One doesn't know which way he will go next! He's delightful!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Barbara, the coloured triangle markings are so effective. What a great little bird.
