Alcedo Atthis Tapestries

Cut-out of a colorful common kingfisher or Alcedo atthis seen on the back while perched on a branch

This is a vector design of a Common Kingfisher bird. The scientific name for this type of bird is Alcedo Atthis, and it comes from the Alcedinidae family. These birds are master divers and fish seekers. When I started on this design, I wanted to add a unique element to the bird, and I thought a crown would fit perfectly with its well-known title, Kingfisher. It takes a lot of time to make these designs, and when others show their support, it gives me more motivation to keep creating animal art. So, if you enjoy my work, please like it, share it, or even buy it for yourself or someone else as a special gift.

So this image came about due to thinking about the optical qualities of glass... Working to a product standard and wanting to capture something - that little bit different... I worked out in the field to get this capture and worked in post to create this effect... I have always loved the iridescent colour of kingfishers and think their colours ~ depending on the angle of incidence... reflect that of a rainbow... So what better to do - than to represent both! :D

Alcedo Atthis

Giving free rein to my love of birds! My goal is to draw as many species as possible, both close to home and less-known.

European bird kingfisher with blue and orange feathers sitting on plants and branches, a perfect gift to bird's and nature lovers, ideal as a gift to fishermen, farmers. It is a handmade watercolor initially with paints on paper, no digital brushes used, a real watercolor.

Like a stealth jet - a Kingfisher speedily flies close to the water.

I've seen many a silhouette in my time and also produced quite a few silhouettes too... but I find it increasingly difficult to find something that actually works... I think the key is ~ to give something away in a silhouette, but not everything... and leave the eye of the viewer to work things out... If its overly obvious for me... it might not work... A classic example of an almost silhouette was that of a slow shutter speed bison in the snow that was nicely illustrated in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year just recently... Almost like a reverse negative... as it was framed with an all white snowy background and the precise shutter speed created that streaky snowy look with a grey cold and wintery almost silhouette like distinct...

So last summer - I literally spent hours and hours on stakeout awaiting for this blue little beastie to turn up along my local shores... I had heard of his presence by a few reputable connections in the area and spent hours down by the river - looking for him or her (?) and trying to work out its ecological behaviour... It seems Kingfishers have certain spots which they frequent and spent time on these 'perches'... This one I spotted early one morning almost like being in a meditative state - zoned out or in ~ gazing at this white spot of bird poo on a big wooden tree branch... I can only surmise that - it was watching for insects such as flies ~ which would come and land near or on the bird poo and then pick them off from th...

Kingfisher design from the Sakál Design "Wild Line Collection". Dynamic curves, geometric shapes, minimalist design. We are making a cool brand new set of animal design that looks fantastic on clothes and on different items – this is "Wild Line Collection". Wildlife, nature, birds, mammals make our Planet wonderful. This is what inspired us during the design process. In the first set you find birds, and the first of them is Kingfisher, this tiny flying jewellery.

A common kingfisher in all its splendour sits out suited and booted - fishing... almost looking for compliments...! What regal colour...!!!
