Inspiration to watch this come to life. Thank you

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you so much x

[@shepherd4406]

Very nice. Two things stick out for me. First working with a model. I am looking around the house to see what I can use. Second, the feather pattern on the wing. I would have made it more difficult by using a new bit of yarn for each one. Thank you.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

I had to be quick so thought a little pattern would suggest feathers and working from a model is really handy, glad you enjoyed it x

[@valeriecoulthard4776]

Absolute brilliant Philippa, really enjoyed watching. Looking forward to seeing more birds 😄. You really inspire me to keep trying new things, bless you x

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you, that's very kind and you really learn when you push yourself a bit x

Wow! He came out amazingly ❤

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you so much xx

[@nicolamoore4760]

Lovely kingfisher Pippa. Just one question: did you find that the legs and feet got in the way while you were working on felting the body of the bird? I would probably have made them separately and attached them at the end, so I wondered if you thought your method wad easier?

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thanks, I found it really stable and easy to do with legs attached. It's tricky bending it all in the first place but once done and wrapped straight away they were fine. They are big feet so really help the kingfisher stand up xx
