how sweet, Betsy. These cute little birds of yours working together to create their holiday decor, I LOVE the idea! Adorable. enjoyed tea with, you, too! xxoo
This is adorable!..I thought of you Sunday at our Tea cup exchange as one of the ladies got two bird-themed vintage-looking ornaments...Would have been perfect for you!
Great Betsy. It does speak of Holidays. We watch our birds through our breakfast room and I put red ribbons on the bird feeders and all the posts out there. LOL Sounded like you had a great time at the Tea you looked so beautiful. Blessings QMM
Another incredible illustration, Betsy. So darling. I love, of course, the little English like robins and adding the tartan is a great touch. A touch of Torosay, perhaps? :)
Thank you so much for finding the time during these hols and our Tea party to do this. I'm adding it the montage now.
Mmm ~ the little english robins are a little skinny! haha. After I was finished I thought they needed to be round and plump! Oh well. :) Yes, maybe torosay was still on my mind....
Oh, Betsy, I love your sweet and helpful birds. Your wreath is absolutely amazing...so much fabulous detail. You have much more patience than I do. Well done!
I was also completely reminded of Cinderella and her helpful feather friends...its a film that gets watched alot around here! Such a lovely piece and so full of that sweet festive holiday feel. :)
I love the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Birdie that live outside your kitchen window have come to help you decorate for the holidays! It's so neighborly of them.

I love it! You should put your drawings as your headers.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that does say Holiday!!! I agree, your drawings would be darling headers.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute, looks like the birds are busy undoing, maybe they will build a nest in there too! ;D
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, the birds are creating the bow, how enchanted.;))
ReplyDeletexoxo
nice...lots of color and like the textures of the wreath...
ReplyDeleteThat drawing would make beautiful Christmas cards!!
ReplyDeletehow sweet, Betsy. These cute little birds of yours working together to create their holiday decor, I LOVE the idea! Adorable. enjoyed tea with, you, too! xxoo
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Card..haha...drawing it was certainly easier than trying to photo the boys!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was that this drawing would be a beautiful Christmas greeting card... it seems others think so too. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteReally great idea with the beautiful birds decorating for the season! I like the touch of the bells at the end of the ribbon too!
ReplyDeletehow adorable. This may shock you, but I have a fondness for birds. LOL
ReplyDeleteHow in the world do you find time to draw? You are my top candidate for superwoman
I like the robins interacting with the ribbon. It adds a lot of movement to your drawing. I can almost feel the chill in the air and taste the cider!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful wreath! Such helpful bird friends you have!!
ReplyDeleteBirdie ~ I never would have guessed! LOL!
ReplyDeleteRebecca ~ oh yes, I would have loved that gift!
ReplyDeleteGreat Betsy. It does speak of Holidays. We watch our birds through our breakfast room and I put red ribbons on the bird feeders and all the posts out there. LOL Sounded like you had a great time at the Tea you looked so beautiful. Blessings

I love the birds working diligently to decorate for the holidays. Such fun! Love the movement and energy. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteQMM ~ my feeder is empty! I just got seed yesterday and need to fill it. My birds are funny...they look in the window at me if the feeder is empty!
ReplyDeleteOh that's lovely! Super composition and I love the way you've treated the greenery. Next year's Christmas card?
ReplyDeleteIncredible !
ReplyDeleteDid you go to art school Betsy ?
BTW, so enjoyed your company at the
tea....
Jo ~ art school? um...no, dear. haha. I've never drawn anything before joining this fun little co-op of Mr. Toasts. I'm having fun, though!
ReplyDeleteYes, the tea was fantastic...truly the event of the year. :)
Gosh, this is AMAZING! Super job, Betsy. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful - Oh how I wish I had those delightful birds here to help me with my decorating!!!

ReplyDeleteAww, so sweet and festive. I want little birds like that to give me a hand with my decorating.
ReplyDeleteBetsy that is so lovely, with a happy feeling. Makes me think of Cinderella with those birds for some reason.
ReplyDeleteOh, Christine, that is so true! I know exactly what scene you are referring to!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute - so much life in those birds, I was waiting for the animation to start!
ReplyDeleteI was also completely reminded of Cinderella and her helpful feather friends...its a film that gets watched alot around here! Such a lovely piece and so full of that sweet festive holiday feel. :)
