Elizabeth Charland asked me way back before Halloween to try a hummingbird. First - I don't have hummingbirds around my yard so I don't have much experience watching them. Second, I just couldn't picture a "cartoon" hummingbird and my stuff is usually pretty silly looking.
But I did create what I think looks like a serious hummingbird and the 'kid still at home' identified it as such when I grilled her, so I am going to take the chance and show you this bird. I used the scallop oval on the wings because I thought that looked more like "movement" and the hummingbirds I have seen had those wings going so fast you couldn't see WHAT shape they were.
If I didn't get it right, go ahead and laugh - I will turn the volume down so I can't hear you. I did this on kiwi kiss (retired) sponged in Basic gray with a beak from a strip of black. Elizabeth, I hope it works for you.
And just so you can laugh without feeling bad for making fun of me, you can laugh WITH me on this next photo- I kept up the recent Santa hats on critters theme...
I'm typing this on my precious laptop - it is fixed and back home front and center on my desk! I am a happy blogger today.
Tomorrow there will be two more critter requests filled. Assuming I can get the second one done.

Ellen, I love it and give it my seal of approval, because, as you know, I love me some birds. I wasn't laughing at all until I saw him with the Santa hat, then it was a different story. I am so glad you got your laptop back. Have a great day.
Hugs,
Awsome!!
Congrats on getting your laptop back Ellen! More happy times for all of us.
I love the little hummingbird...I think he is great.
GREAT JOB ELLEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HOW DID YOU DO THE TAIL AND THE BECK
ELIZABETH
Tail is a small oval punch trimmed down - hand drawn lines.
Beak is just a thin strip cut to a point using the paper trimmer.
