I discovered that making birds in wool felt is a lot more difficult than making mammals.
Mourning Doves just love hogging the feeder! Look how happy they are!
Last weekend we had a lot of snow, but that didn't stop the Cardinals from coming around.
Here's my latest little felt creature...a Yak.....also known as Bos Grunniens.......which some people refer to as "Boss Grunnies".......or an old boyfriend of mine used to call "Gross Bunnies" when we would visit them at the High Park Zoo. We would feed them carrots, which I recently read is something they really like.
This one is grey but he looks sort of blue in these photos. The ones at the High Park Zoo were black and brown. I made his horns and eyes out of Sculpey and his body is blended Shetland and Corriedale wools over a pipe cleaner armature.
Many times I've gone past here and always meant to photograph this beautiful hand blown glass sculpture of Fire. The "flames" all have little lights in them and they look amazing against their black background.
The Fire sculpture is just outside a restaurant in this building downtown:
I've been having success with my live plants. I have Java Fern, Java Moss, and something that starts with a B that I can't remember the name of. Oh well, it seems to be doing well. As you can see, I have Kuhli Loaches in my tank as well. I have about 5 of them. I also have bogwood in my tank which tints the water a yellowish brown, but I think they like the environment better than crystal clear water.
Another photo of my darling little African Dwarf Frogs. Here's one hanging around the surface with just his tiny nose poking out of the water. Sometimes they do that for a while. You can see the bend in the surface tension of the water where he's breaking the surface. There's still a lot of singing going on at night, but today I vacuumed the gravel with my siphon so if there were any eggs, they've probably been sucked up.
