Please meet Darby the Parrot

Hello, my name is Darby... 


Darby has been lovingly needle felted with Merino wool.  On this particular piece I handsculpted his eyes and beak using Cernit... His little feet are wire that I wrapped with embroidery thread...  I hope you find Darby pleasing to the eye.  I am really enjoying my needle felting..
He is available on Ebay
Wishing you all a beautiful week..
Love and blessings,
Penny

  2. Je voudrais, je voudrais, ....les oiseaux chanter...ahhhhh, Darby, you are one adorable and PERFECTLY MADE PARROT....

    Penny, YOU bring tears to my eyes as I see the handiwork of your spirit take flight EACH and EVERY TIME you post. What fun you are to have within an email's reach, a blog post's enchanting power and a phone call away.

  4. Dear Penny, Darby is so very precious. You know I have 2 amazon parrots and one of them, kiwi, has my heart. He is yelling the children's name at this moment and I am afraid he is copying "me"! "blushing"
    Darby will make a terrific pet as I am sure he won't behave like my kiwi!
    Love,
    Pat

  5. Thank you friend for the Rose information, I am going to look the "Pierre de Ronsard" online and order for the fall.
    Your birdie reminds me of the PINK one Anita had on her post this week, sweet!

  7. Dear Dore
    Thank you so much for your most welcome visit. I always look forward to seeing you here.
    I just love painted rose... Your work warms my soul.

    Dearest Anita,
    You sweetheart you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.. I cannot tell you how much I loved your post today... What a wonderful ~thank you~ to your dear Ruben..

    Hello dear Pat
    Thank you so much for wandering over to see me and your kind thoughts.
    You have TWO parrots? Kiwi is such a sweet name.. I'll bet there is alot of chattering going on yes?
    Good to have you back home, although I wish I could have gone with you to Paris. teee

    Hi Jeri
    Oh good, I think if that rose is good in your zone you will love it...
    Funny that you mentioned this parrot reminded you of the pink one on Anita's last post... Actually when I saw that beautiful pink parrot I was so inspired I had to paint it... Only mine was purple... Then I wanted to create a needle felted parrot.

    I just love the pergola your husband built for you... What a gem you have...
    Wishing you a wonderful weekend
    fondly,
    Penny

    Hi Mary
    I think it was a glitch with blogger... I have had the same problems with my list on the dashboard.. One day people are there, the next they are gone... All seems ok now..
    Thank you so much for your kind words.

    Blessings to all,
    Penny

  16. I am starting to put two and two together now and understand how you and the delightful Bebe from Nowhere are connected. I just found my way to Nowhere recently and am learning who is who there. lol

  18. Dear Ria
    How wonderful to see you here... How are you? I love to visit your beautiful part of the world.
    Thank you so much dear friend for your kind words.

    Hi Lisa
    How nice to see you here! Don't you just love the music? It makes me happy... Thank you so much for your kind words... I do enjoy my needle felting.. Well, just as long as I do not poke myself! The needles have barbs at the tip, so when you poke away it mends the wool together.. Very time consuming but very relaxing..
    Yes, Bebe started here and has been going to Nowhere for a few years now... I love our time in Nowhere with all our dear friends. I am so happy you are visiting there.

    Hi Paulette
    I know your roses will be beautiful... Just tender loving care and the joy you receive is well worth it.
    I am so happy you enjoyed my watercolor illustrations and thank you for your kind words about my parrot.

    Greeting Ascension
    Yes, I just love the colors of this merino wool. Thank you for coming over and leaving such a kind note.

    Hi Mary
    I just love visiting your beautiful blog.. Thank you so much! Wishing you a beautiful weekend.

    Lisa
    I hope you will find your way to Nowhere again and again to join the fun.
    Wishing you all a safe a happy weekend.
    Blessings,
    Penny

  19. Good morning my beautiful PLUMMED FRIEND!!! I was thinking about you just as I woke up, little Darby! teeeheeee

    I am sitting here early in the morning, enjoying my visit here. The furniture in my front room is a bit out of order due to painting my studio! SO this arrangement has moved my usual typing spot right next to my curio cabinet where none other than my sweet memories of all you art work sit close to me at this moment. Toby, BEBE and TEA RAT, AMÉLIE, LILI and ALL the others are sitting right here reminding me of YOU.

    I will be back in email you all!!! LOVE! Anita

  27. Oh my word! Look at the colours and how soft he is! When the page first loaded I thought he was real! He looks like he's just about to fluff himself and start preening.

  37. I just wanted to give Darby a HUGE SQUEEZE of admiration. He is ONE CUTE AND SPECIAL PARROT! OH! Tea Rat wants to know if he can talk......

    you are so gifted.

  39. Ohhhh.....we do NOT want Tea Rat to teach Darby how to talk, or else you will have a parrot on your hands that will have, let's say, COLORFUL language. teeheee.....Tea Rat is always on the look out for a new friend, especially if he can talk!!! LOVE YOU DEAREST! Anita

  40. good morning sweetie, was just wondering if you can see my posts now, and if my blog update shows for you?Have a great day! xoxox Christel

    ReplyDelete
  41. oh my, darby is just adorable and so soft-looking and colorful!! your needle felting talent shows no bounds! really cute! i can't wait to see what you felt next. thanks for stopping by my bloggy and telling me about painting with flower petals. i am wondering how to seal them though...when i start to spray the sealer, won't they just fly away? i have never heard of this idea, but what fun it would be to paint with flower petals. we had a very hot fourth of july and there is no end in sight. i am so over this heat and drought....
    take care,
