Hummingbird • Suncatcher

I illustrated this darling suncatcher as a tribute for these sweet pollinating birds.

Weighing less than a dime, they are named after the humming noise their wings make from flapping so quickly. Their wings flap 70 times per second and can flap as fast as 200 times per second when they're diving! These tiny, joyful little birds visit hundreds of flowers in a single day, and are the only birds that can fly backwards.

They are a symbol of joy, love, and good luck. And in Central America, Hummingbirds are believed to bring love to the person who spots them. 

I hope that this sweet suncatcher, my very first foray into illustrating fauna, brings you joy, luck and love.

This sweet Hummingbird Suncatcher is a perfect addition to any window that gets direct sunlight. You can add it to your East-facing window to catch rainbows as you start your day with your morning cup of coffee or tea, a West-facing window to catch them with the setting sun, or a South-facing window to have lovely rainbows dance across your floor all day long.

Add one to your window at home, at work, in your studio, or to your car!
