Ode to Spring ...for a Friend with the Winter Blues

I've been needle felting different birds lately, they go well with the birdhouses. And none inspires more warm weather feelings than the ruby throated hummingbird. So easy to make and, difficult to see clearly in the picture, the colors are blended with synthetic fiber that is glittery. I finally get to use my hand carders for a few projects. I sewed on glass beads for the eyes.
This is dedicated to a wonderful potter and great friend who's holding out for spring. Talk to you soon AB!
