King of the Hummingbirds
I have wanted to do a hummingbird print for quite a while. Anyone who has had dealings with hummers knows what the crown is all about. A couple years ago I went to Grey Feather Lodge in New Mexico. Grey Feather is a bird watcher’s haven. They have a large porch from which they hang a ton of hummingbird feeders. There must have been a hundred or more Hummers. It was somewhat terrifying. It was like being swarmed by a hundred really large, angry bees. Luckily, they don’t sting, but there were a few times that I thought that I might leave the lodge with new piercings. If you are ever in this situation don’t get between a hummer and his feeder. You have been warned.

This hummingbird is absolutely adorable! He looks a bit cheeky I think.

I just wanted to say I LOVE this! I think it’d make a great embroidery pattern, too.

Pure evil, that’s all I can say.

My husband just had a heart attack and now we’re eating loads of vegtables and fruits. Could you create some fun produce patterns that I could purchase? Kids in vegtable suits, dancing vegtables, are a few ideas but, I’m sure you have way better thoughts. My frig is stocked full of produce and is very colorful now days (orange oranges, green spinach and mixed salad greens, yellow lemons, purple/red beets. orange sweet potatoes, orange carrots, varigated swiss chard, red strawberries, blue berries, purple eggplant).
Love your work.
