Please visit Willow , a lovely lady, and meet the real Buttercup.. One of the most beautiful parrots I have seen. Willow has such a beautiful blog, and was kind enough to give me permission to attempt to Needle felt the likeness
( I hope) of her dear Buttercup..
He is firmly needle felted over a wire armature.. I hand sculpted his eyes and beak in polymer clay... Painted with fine acrylics and sealed. His feet are wire wrapped in embroidery thread.. He sits 6 1/2" tall and is 13 1/2 " from his head to the tip of his tail.
I hope you have enjoyed my rendition of this sweet parrot...
Thank you Willow for allowing me to express my creativity with such a beautiful subject...
If you would like to visit his auction on Ebay, you may find him here
Thank you so much for visiting.
blessings,
Penny
