J is for Jamaican Tody

The Craft Barn alpha/dictionary challenge is asking for J with a dragonfly. Since I had a scary snake last time, I was glad to find a real cutie for this one :) I am also posting for the Paperartsy challenge (monoprints) and the Country View challenge (stencils).


The bird and it's description are cut from a wildlife encyclopedia. I used a gelli print for the colourful background (and a flower stencil has been used to pull the print). The tody-birds eat insects, and you might guess what his next meal is going to be ?!? The letter and the harlequin stamps are from Rubber Dance. There wasn't much info available about these birds, but here's the wikipedia article.
