Hotch Potch, the rare 'Threadendicus Ridikulus' bird likes to play with spangling beads and read lace magazines.
This daft bird started as a quick sketch, destined to disappear in the depths of the photo files until l was looking for something to use up all the odd colours and different size threads left on bobbins which were not being used, but didn't want to waste.
Himself did point out that Hotch Potch closely resembles the huge, fierce, but now extinct 'Terror' bird which stood taller than a man, and could probably have eaten one!
I like to think that Hotch Potch will show a little more restraint and l don't mind losing an odd spangling bead to him if it stops him nibbling my ankles!
