And a Needle Felted Bluebird

 

My next bird is a bluebird - a bluebird of happiness, in fact.  She, too, has a shawl made from a vintage handkerchief.  For bird purists, yes, I recognize that this is actually a male rather than a female because a female's plumage would be duller.  Nonetheless, I used my artist's license to put a shawl on a male bird and pretend that everything somehow works!
