Handmade Textile Kingfisher Bird Sculpture

ADVERTISEMENT

This handsome Kingfisher has unmistakeable bright blue feathers and orange body. He stands at 18cm tall (including beak). He is made entirely by hand using sustainably sourced materials, including merino wool, silk and vintage fabrics, silk and metallic threads, reclaimed ebony wood, wire and glass eyes.

This bright bird flies rapidly, low over water, hunting fish from riverside perches., occasionally hovering above the water’s surface.

Each bird is unique. He has a needle-felted body and is hand stitched with carefully selected silks to replicate his natural colourings. He has glass eyes.

He is 18cm tall, and 24cm tail to beak.

He stands independently and will suit any display space.

Each bird is uniquely numbered and dated on the leg ring with a makers mark.

He is also available for sale on my Etsy Shop!

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
