2008 April - birds


See? It's birds. I drew them in Photoshop using nothing more than the touchpad on my laptop, so it was hard to add any smaller details like, you know, wings. I am sure that it's okay, though. I don't think they're going anywhere.

I like it!

I like the birds.

I do hope that wire's not too far off the ground, otherwise if they fall off they're in trouble, with no wings. On the other hand, if they're made of rubber, they'll bounce. Are they rubber birds? Or maybe made out of the same stuff as Superballs ?

Eh, they don't need wings. After all, it's the feet that give them away as birds. And damn fine birds at that.

March 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJess

Sparkling Red, they are just extremely steady on their feet and are very good jumpers.

I like this one so much. It's simplicity? The colors? The whimsy? Whatever, it's my fave so far and I've seen a lot!

Pirate bird has a heart of gold, but don't let him hear you say that.

March 21, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterjenny

I know. He's really a big softie. He just wears the eye patch to look tough.

March 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSchmutzie

Oh they are ADORABLE.

That is exactly the sort of thing I want for mine except with little people. You've inspired me.

But that rather critical step from making it to getting it live on my blog is the part I have no idea how to do.

I prefer non-flying birds.

It's lovely.

March 21, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRachel

Don't go changin' yer birds to try and please me, I love your birds just the way they are.

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterGwen

I never would have guessed that was done with the touchpad. You must have very steady hands. Very cute!

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKathy

I really, really like it - the birds are sooooo cute! Nice coloring, too.

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSI

Second from the left? Her name is reep.

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRee

You should make one a cock and put it on the rol HAHAHAHAHAHA ... the spring thing is getting to me and it's back to work on Tuesday - YAY!

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterdk

They are clearly birdies and they are very very cute!

I love the new header! Too cute.

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterseven

Love the birdies. When I click on the post title, blogger tells me that blog is not found. Dunno why.

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSUEB0B

I love it!

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKeri

It just occurred to me that the link colour has changed from orange to teal. I very much like the teal!

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered Commentersavia

Is the pirate bird named "Redbird?" Does he have a little teeny bird for his shoulder?

Seriously, I like it. I love simple yet interesting, and I admire your steadiness of hand in drawing on the touchpad.

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterVelma

I love those birds!! I'm sort of (well, okay, very much) jealous of your bird-drawing skills. Esp with a touchpad. I couldn't draw birds with a pencil and Da Vinci guiding my hand.

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered Commentersuperblondgirl

I love the birds. I wish I had some of my own somewhere. Very comforting and uplifting like spring.

March 22, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKizz

Nice colours. Nice minimalism. Cute and perfect for Easter :-)

March 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAurora

Looks great!

March 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKy
