Brilliant job Pippa! Your wire armature was amazing and nice and stable to start working with. You make it look so easy! xx

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you, definitely needed the plyers to bend it and Pats tip that the legs point forward really helped me balance them under him x

[@feltsbyphilippa]

The oven is at about 100 degrees Fahrenheit so I don't burn the skewer, only takes 30 mins or so, thanks xx

Lovely Kingfisher Pippa. The markings and feet are brilliant. Really very well done. Shame about the model but it looks as good as new xx

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you and yes, typical, I literally knocked it off my desk 2 minutes after I had finished. I think it's fine. Thanks for your help with the legs, little thighs and point forwards xx

I’ve wanted to try this so it’s great that you’ve done a video, thanks. It looks great 😊 those bird ornaments are often available cheaply in the charity shops and can be re donated when you’re done.

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thanks, hope it goes well, glad you liked the video xx

Love it!

[@feltsbyphilippa]

Thank you ❣️

[@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

[@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
