“We came across the breed and were intrigued by their personality and the fact that they are not as hyper as Huskies,” relayed the South African pet owners in an interview with helloBARK!, “not to mention their amazing look and stature! We undertook some research and had our mind set on getting a Malamute.”

Their pet Alaskan Malamute, Tydus, would soon win over their hearts and Instagram accounts. But the couple already had another pet back home: an African Grey parrot named Trez. “Trez is much more vocal,” they admit. “He is our African grey parrot and has a motor mouth! He warms up his voice box every morning at 6am.”

The two would turn out to be quite the dynamic duo! “Tydus starts howling as soon as he hears an ambulance or whenever he is bored,” relay the owners. “Trez will then pitch in and say: ‘Tydus stop it. Good boy!’ Trez comforts him by talking to him while they are alone.” With both pets hilariously feisty, the two make for a great pet brand.

And while they might be very opinionated, we’re happy to follow their dog-and-parrot adventures from afar!

Now with over 50k followers on Instagram, Bartnik has come to be recognized for her bird embroideries – what she calls “embirdiries.” Her work is mostly based on images of birds and includes no prior sketching. “Firstly, I make a shape from a piece of wool with a technique called dry felting,” she explains the creative process. “Dry felting is completed by using a special felting needle to prod wool until it becomes the thickness/texture needed. I then paint with a needle on the felt, apply colors and in the end embroider finer details.”

With some of her biggest passions including nature, traveling, and art, inspiration comes easy. “Nature itself is my greatest inspiration,” says Bartnik. “It contains all sorts of colors, shapes, and textures.” You can purchase her work online or simply follow her Instagram page.

The idea was to express the intricacy and vibrancy of the birds around us, using techniques of layered paper cutting to give volume to their creations and add a three-dimensional feel to them. Their paper birds were then photographed in their natural environments, perched on a twig or soaring through the air.

Now, a couple of years later, and the duo is still hard at work, crafting their signature paper birds, as well as other animals. Each piece takes around 4-8 hours in total to complete, with their aim to make their miniature creations look as lifelike as possible. You can purchase their original creations through their online store, or admire them through Instagram.

She first studies the anatomy of a bird she wants to replicate, paying special attention to the type of feather it has and what kind of tail and wings she’s dealing with. As she told This is Colossal, she initially experimented with other materials, but found that paper is the best to work with for what she wants to achieve. 

“As an artist, I find it almost impossible to compete with nature’s sophisticated mechanisms and designs,” Rajput told the outlet. “I have taken this project on, to reach that level of perfection which can be applauded with a great sense of wonder by my audience and also acts as a reminder of what’s out there and needs to be protected.”
