king or fisher ?

It might become a mild
addiction
.....

Soon after making the very first bird
I started to use a felting needle :
not too much,
but just to make sure I start off with the right shape.
That way I'm able to follow more closely
the colour pattern on the bird.


King or Fisher ???

We don't hardly ever see them here, kingfishers.
They are quite rare
Years ago I saw a bright blue flash
from a branch near the water behind our garden
and knew what it must have been right away !
(never seen one since)


(no harm done)

(hmmmm ... sure lóóks like an addiction)
