Parrot designs

I was cruising the net looking for some new designs that I might be able to do in needlepoint when I ran across some stained glass pictures of Parrots. Now these would lend themselves really nice to needlepoint or even cross stitch if you are into that. I personally do not like the tedium of having to count with cross stitch so I stick to needlepoint.
Here are a few and the rest can be found following the link.

Those are beautiful - I bet with the sunlight shining thru them they would be even more special. Thanks for the link

oh wow! That would be a great tattoo!!! I used to want one so bad...just kind of a going-to-college-I-can-do-what-I-want-now type of deal. I had pretty much grown out of it, and the belly button ring appeased me.

But since you mention it....That grey would be really neat with maybe "Ollie" written just kind of blended in....

Oh who am I kidding...my parents would disown me

It's hard for me to rebel with tattoos, seeing as mom, dad, and all 3 kids (we're semi-grown ups) have them.

Maybe that's why I dig the piercings...

I definitely have the "I'm in college, leave me the BLANK alone" look (even though I still live in my parents' basement) most of the time.

...those are beautiful! I tried my hand at stained glass a few years ago...lots of fun...but I got tired of suncatchers and didn't have the patience for doing full panes...

...AND...I don't have the patience for cross-stitch either...prefer needlepoint...and don't laugh...I like the printed backgrounds best...
