that would be lovely and i'm sure there is a whole market for that kind of stuff (i don't mean just kids books, i mean natural stuff instead of animated plastics). =)
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned or noticed this, but you deserve credit for blending artistic style with an actual experience in encountering and connecting with nature. Your art creates an occasion in which you're able to interact with the animals. It's beautiful
I just love your little stories with the birds you’re so creative and bring everything to life children will absolutely love this I still have a child in me and I’m 63 I think this is the most creative thing I’ve saw in a long, long time I wished I had this when I was a kid This Is wonderful😁😍💕 wonderful I love it
Your children are lucky to have such a creative father. Their heads will be filled with endless stories and they will witness the magic of life because of you. Bravo.
I can’t thank you enough- everything about this gentle video filled me with such hope and wonder. You’re a special soul to have taken the time and effort to create this magical miniature world.
YOU were a designer for Bionicle!? Dude! Let me thank you for years of fun, inspiration, and for being partially responsible for pulling me into art!(and everything else) You should know that community is still strong. You made a helluva good job during those five years. And now these little guys, they're great, they're precious and we require more. Thanks again for everything!
Same here!! My brothers and I had bionicles! I had Tahu and he would ride my ponies to the dollhouse and then he would kidnap my bratz doll. I took my brothers bionicles and made them the good guys to steal back the girl and bring her home… then my brothers seen I took their bionicles and cut my horses tail and mane off 😂😢 so mean to their only sister
@@squirrel3443 lol I too have brothers and we played with bioncles. I never had bratz dolls but I had Barbies and I would make whole storylines with the different toys. This is bringing back so many childhood memories.
This is the most delightful, charming and wonderful thing I’ve seen in ages. As a forager of forests and seashore who delights in making wee things, and can make up whole scenarios to share with my granddaughter, I’ve found my very happy place here in TH-cam. Thank you for this!
I've been doing a lot of reading lately: The Shorter Peyps -- diary of a guy who lived 400 years ago. Amazing. Accidental Czar: the life and lies of Vladimir Putin -- horrible Ravens in Winter -- wonderful, amazing, scientific discovery. I'm in need of more "nice people" to balance out Vladimir Putin.
I was one of those kids that grew up playing with Lego and Bionicle. Such an integral part of my childhood. It’s wonderful to find out when the people who helped build my childhood are off in the world still doing great things!
Dave, it's awesome to see how you created this whole universe complete with a story and a coherent design language! Don't worry about leaving Lego. When you are a real designer/artist "the system" is simply way too limiting. Natural materials in their complexity are way more stimulating/rewarding to work with: there is always an element of surprise (failure) but the results are richer and deeper and thus more appealing.
Thanks so much! You sound like a Lego designer, but I'm not sure if I know you. I totally agree about the element of discovery when it comes to nature. All my creative plans are loose sketches and I'm forced to roll with whatever happens, which keeps things interesting. I do love the system and have so much respect for master builders though. I think both methods have their benefits. Sticks are a lot cheaper than bricks :)
@@davidmbird ... "Franklin D." here ... don't get me wrong - limitations force you to be inventive and to think on a more abstract level (maybe). However, IF you know how to use tools and if you are up for a challenge, natural materials appear to be a good choice because interacting with them provides you with a broader/deeper sensory stimulation - something the brain "likes"... Again, I am super-impressed with the Becorns and their universe - as well as with the way you tell the story in the video!
Lovely! I've been making these little things most of my life. I hang them in trees maybe people will think the fairies left them. I'm most likely old enough to be your grandma. I'm glad to see young people continue with it.
👸What a perfect name- you're like Glenda the Good Witch, but of the woods🌲🧚🏽🌲 I'd have felt like one of the most special girls in the world if I came upon one of creatures on the path of my woodland excursions 👧🏼 ~ Well heck, I'm almost 60 & I'd STILL feel special !👩🏻🦳 Now I know what to make for my grandchildren's fairy garden🧚🏼♀️I've collected acorns, tiny pinecones, grasses along with peculiar sticks & stones from different states ....this is going to be exciting & fun🤠
Adorable! 💖 And Im an old lady. I love your videos. Your baby is lucky to have a Dad that still has the whimsy part of his brain still functioning and intact. Be sure to pass it on. I did with my little girl. She grew up and became a librarian and now shes passing it on to other generations. 👍🐦

I love creative people who build things with nature in mind keep doing it even if nobody sees it because it brings you joy and it brings me joy to see you do it I make little houses out of Maplewood sticks, they little log cabins and they’re so cute. I put moss around them and on the door I spray paint the moss to look like snow on the roof. They’re fun to do and they give me a chance to use nature to create and I love doing that
As an avid creator, storyteller, and collector of nature bits, I can't tell you how encouraging it is to see someone make things like you do! Thank you. 🌰
We moved into this home almost 3 years ago. The front porch is elevated & has two large trees & some evergreen bushes nearby. Feeding & watching the birds every day gives me such joy. Masses of hummingbirds all summer, chickadees, cardinals, bright gold finches through the winter. I'm a big supporter of native plants, I've preserved what's here & planted many more. I do supplement seed, suet & thistle as well as an open water source. How much joy & relaxation these tiny gems have given me! I love creating from nature, you are far more handy than I.
What you did was share a piece of yourself that reminds me of a part of me that I haven’t been letting out simply because I haven’t found opportunities. Being an adult, and not quite as creative as you. Thank you for being an inspiration 🦋
There are so many ways to exercise and develop your creativity. The things people create from cardboard... Little houses, wall adornments. Things from paper, yarn, material, recycled items... Find your niche and just do something. Everything you try either moves you towards your passion or away from it. The only thing worse than failing is doing nothing at all
I also enjoy making little worlds...in planters mostly. I wanted to say though, that bionicles were my kids favorite toys ever. They are in thier 20s now and still talk about them. Your art is special to many.
This is how our world should be seen by everyone, both big and small! 🙂🙂🙂 So wonderful! It is such a gift for children to see our nature in this way and what it gives us!!! A huge thank you for your work and these heartwarming stories!!! So true and beautiful!
Reminds me a bit of Brian Froud's "Faeries" book from 1978. Very imaginative, whimsical and gets the imagination going. Puts me to mind of little emissaries of Leshii.
“Wow, what he must be thinking right now .” David, I will try to be that little bird every morning upon rising. I think you may have just changed my life. I think that beautiful child you are holding so close, is the luckiest child in the word. God bless you David. Kevin
This is such a great idea. Your little adventures of the Becorns helping animals. You are very patient and your work flourishes with your patience. Thanks for sharing your society of Becorns.
I'm 30 seconds in and I've already subscribed. It's cuz you're up front and you're authentic, man. You tell us exactly what's going to happen, not trying to dress it up or add any flair, and you'll have the work speak for itself. Excellent.
Isn't this sensational? No need for flare. Nature is so beautiful interesting fascinating and mysterious. Nothing made by man can compare. Kindred spirits see and understand in an instant. You have a good heart..
@@rhodaknight5707 yeah lets revolutionize the way we live for the better, instead of doing whatever those failed "systems" are bombarding and invading us with
Idem pour moi....je suis sous le charme...Tout ce que j'aime ❤..(Dommage, je ne comprends pas tous les commentaires anglais...) Je transfère à ma fille qui façonne des personnages miniatures avec une autre technique ( pâte Fimo))
I used to make acorn horses with toothpicks, acorns, etc when I was small because I desperately wanted a horse. I created entire stables of them but they never looked as beautiful as your acorn people do. I hope you continue to share your stories and experiences with us. Many thanks!
I’m fascinated by the magic and creativity in your work. Just a thought: maybe the blue birds were nervous by the blue jay’s feather you used on the shepherd’s staff. Blue jays are notorious for eating smaller bird’s eggs and babies.
My 20 year old was fascinated by Bionicles when they were young. To this day, when looking at Legos with their youngest siblings they wax poetic about the good old days when there were Bionicles. Thank you for what you created then. And for what you are creating now. It has touched our lives in a very special way.
My mom made simple little acorn dolls to play with when she was a little girl in the Shenandoah Valley.I hear a kindness in your voice .Your expression of nature is so real and beautiful!⚡💎💎💎💎💎⚡
I was really inspired by your backstory. I'm kind of in the same boat myself right now. Just quit my job last week because it was just destroying my body and happiness. I haven't found my acorn yet but I'm confident that I will. Keep up the great work.

@@ИринаЯкимцова-е5у This job had become a man in a van driving from building to building all night, forest firewatch, lighthouse keeper, these jobs are all gone.
This is just amazing! What a wonderful little world you have created! I did wonder what the adult blue birds thought after they had moved into this house and laid eggs - all of a sudden this platform with grass appears! LOL! I'm like you, I'm just amazed when I see birds like bluebirds, orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, goldfinches! And they're just flying around wild! They seem too beautiful to be so normal. I became a backyard birder about 3 years ago and saw birds I have never seen before in my 52 years of life. And I long and Hope to see a lot more!
Dude bionicle was my entire childhood! Thank you so much for your work on the series, it had me captivated all the way until the line was cancelled :,) Im loving these videos so much keep up the wonderful work!
Knowing your background gives us the sense of how the Beecorns were created..making them so small is a skill..thanks for sharing..giving pleasure to many ❤
Marvelous! You just made my sunday! Along with the people chasing money and worldly tether, your creation bring balance what life truly means. Thank you
Becorns are without a doubt completely endearing ! Its easy to picture their future lives just by watching the story of their creation & the small interaction with the Bluebirds. I have raised baby birds before, 2 baby Mockingbirds, eyes closed & no feathers. My cat found them after a hurricane. Their constant feedings are a LOT of work. ( I was lucky, my neighbors raised parrots, so I had free baby bird food with all the vitamins they needed) That may be the only way you CAN get the shots of birds & the Becorns you want. You would be surprised how many people in your community raise or take care of injured birds. When they were ready I taught them how to find bugs & worms under small rotting branches. They left when they were ready to, sleeping indoors till then. I still have a large amount of Mockingbirds around my house today. Blue Jays & Chickadees may be more human socially friendly, if you get the Jays when theyre young - they like wet meaty dog or cat foods. Chickadees also take well to hand feeding. I'm very much looking forward to the adventures of the Becorns. Yes , you made the right decision :)
You did a awesome job with Bionicle. I spent hours as a kid posing mines in my mother’s garden. Rainy days especially. I see the exact same energy in your Becorn people
I just found you and feel like I’ve met a kindred soul. I have bluebirds at my home in Northern Michigan. I have ALWAYS had a indescribable love of acorns. I totally got your creation story as my boys grew up playing with Bionicals. Thank you for following your creative heart. What a joy to have found you.
Videos like this help the world make sense. I can’t express how much I love this video. I made similar creatures but used flowers for fairy wings and neutral pipe cleaners for the body. These pictures spark the creativity in me again. Thank you.
David, what a wonderful and very inspiring video. I'm a high school art teacher and I'm showing your work/videos and website to my students. My youngest son and daughter were walking with me today and we found these huge acorns we've not noticed before. We have Live Oaks and Water Oaks all around our house( in Mobile, Alabama) but they have very small acorns. The ones we found today were three times bigger. We showed them to my wife and were talking about them during lunch. We talked about My Neighbor Totoro and how cool it was when the Totoros left little acorn gifts wrapped with leaves- such a magical movie. Well, Google heard us talking about it. Our phones were off and still, about 30 minutes later when my wife was watching a gardening video, a link showed up to your Becorn video. We usually get irritated when Big Brother is listening, but it worked out well today. We LOVE your work. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Cool how one thing leads to another.
Amazing. These should definitely be for sale to encourage our children to nurture nature and explore the wilderness. Also I can see this as a tv series. Good for you 🌳
@@francisb.314 that’s it!!! I had to look that up- I didn’t even remember them having names lol ah the nostalgia and those cool cylindrical packages they came in. That was the one I loved- he was the ice one. So many imaginary adventures I went on with that toy lol 😆
Hello from NYC! I just can’t help feeling that no matter the kind of crappy day you’re having, one can’t help but smile after seeing your Becorns! I know it made me smile! 🥰
Thank you for acknowledging the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and the illegality of collecting feathers! You are so creative. I enjoy watching the videos of you designing and making the Become and the environs, and the resulting photos. I just love the little world you created 😍
It's so cool to see and hear you talk about your creative process. You combine the great outdoors with a fascinating fantasy world. You're very talented and creative. Can't wait to view more episodes.
Reminds me alot of Rudolph special... I absolutely loved that annual event as a kid. And after a 20 year absence from watching it I saw it this Christmas ... And I can't explain the emotion I felt watching it... Keep doing what your doing ! You have no idea the kids will be positively impacted by this. GodBlessYou
One of the most interesting videos I've seen. The Becorn construction was amazing to see and so lifelike in a cartoon way. The narration was peaceful and precise. And the birds and their home were awesome.
I absolutely love this you are so brilliant. Once upon a time there was a becorn named Eldridge he was the elder of the forest and keeper of all the forest animals. As the months passed by he knew it was almost time for Beverly and Simon blue birds little ones to hatch . So he decided to make the 2 day venture from oak hill to blue feather lane in hopes to bless the younglings before they start their journey in life. As he arrived it was just in time big plans were underway and they were getting dinner ready for the big flight ahead. Big brother blue stopped to say hello and let Eldridge know how the younglings were fairing and offered him a small pillar as a token of gratitude for blessing the younglings on their journey . Eldridge was very pleased with the offer but decided the younglings could use it more than he so they could build up their strength so he wished them best of luck and was on his way as big brother blue took the pillar to the younglings.
I find your Becorns very appealing. I love their little faces, and I was immediately captivated by the images with wildlife, it’s a brilliant concept. Children love animals and I think you have something really special here.
This is sooo beautiful. It's wonderful to see something so truly creative in every respect. I am a preschool teacher and I agree with NC T that you should venture into writing. These days digital books and paper books would both work. Congratulations on a wonderful concept and well done for following your creativity
Yes... I’m 75 yrs old tiny woman who lives alone. Been on my own a long time. I’ve always felt a strong connection to non humans and to whimsy. Still feel that way. I think humans could learn a thing or 2 from watching nature videos about nature and wildlife...and learning about how smart, compassionate and loving sooo many non humans are. Amazing, in my opinion. So is your creativity and the Becorns. We need more heroes like you. We’re all part of Nature...but non humans seem to happier, more content, and seem to lead less complicated lives than many adult humans. New subscriber. Glad I found your channel. Loving your stories and your videos. Thanks much. ❤️💫🙏🏻
@@sandella11beautiful thoughts you have, maam im a young 22yo man but i agree with you, since we don't talk much about healthy, whimsy fun stuff eventhough most children appreciate it its like we are similar creatures that have been raised in different homes i wish we started creating an intentional, thoughtful and healthy, empowering society and communitys instead of whatever harmful and damaging acts we've been doing against nature . then there is hope for a better future
Incredibly sweet little acorn faces! I used to make owls out of the rough side of milkweed pods when I was little. I am so happy to see an adult finding creative uses from nature! I hope it will get children outside, away from tvs & phones ,& back to nature! OUTSTANDING, David!
Such a interesting transition from man made materials into natural materials. Love your story and artistry. Continue the journey and craft it becomes your natural style. Thanks for giving Becorns!
This was such a happy surprise that came up randomly on my yt feed, and I'm so glad it did. I was enchanted and delighted with your little acorn folks, and the gorgeous photography. You are such a wonderfully talented creator, and I adore what you've made. Heartfelt thanks for these beautiful glimpses of a world I wish existed. 🧚♂️🧚♀️❤
That was so interesting! You are very creative, David, thanks so much for sharing your story, the process of creating of those adorable becorns & beautiful pictures! I absolutely adore all things miniature & used to love making fairy gardens.
Hi fellow Becorn lovers, i just wanted to let you guys know that channels like these are just what makes me love people sometimes. There is another channel similar to the way David shares his story and thats "Tanks for nothin". just 2 men doing what they love and showing it to the world is just something magical in itself i hope i get to see more channels like these instead of those awful tiktok dancing explicit videos, and actually appreciate this side of youtube thanks for sharing your work David! with lots of love from India
DAVID!!! You are my hero! I just now discovered you. I am 67 years old, and I have always loved animations, childlike figurines, stuffed animals are real to me, and now you confirm that these worlds all exists :o) Thank you from the bottom of my heart :o) OXO. ... all the way from México :o)
Dear sir Thank you......as missionaries ya never forget where ya came from. But its certainly hard to look back. Tonight you have made all things beautiful and we thank you. What a gift.
This is truly magical. I was mesmerised watching and listening to you making your little acorn people, and the pics with the birds are just wonderous 🥰 Thank you.
I’m dying here! Soooo amazing! I love every single part of this process and your story! I’ve entered into your story now. How beautiful. I need a becorn of my own!
AMAZING!!! Love how your helping everyone slow down and take time to appreciate the simple yet stunning things in nature from the beautiful bluebirds to the adorable little Becorns! 😊 Thank you!!
Those are really cool. It’s amazing they seem to have facial expressions. They remind me of little elves. You could write a book about these characters and show the pictures to illustrate. It’s so creative. Good job!
I couldn't be more thrilled to see your channel recommended to me! The birds around me have become so much more prevalent in my yard the last year and watching them make me so happy! I love your little accord creatures and it makes me want to make my own creatures for fun! ❤️🐣
Hi David, i randomly came across your video. Having recently become a father, watching our daughter grow up discovering the world with amazement, i just want to say that your photos/ art really touched me. Thank you.

I'm 30 seconds in and I've already subscribed. It's cuz you're up front and you're authentic, man. You tell us exactly what's going to happen, not trying to dress it up or add any flair, and you'll have the work speak for itself. Excellent.
Isn't this sensational? No need for flare. Nature is so beautiful interesting fascinating and mysterious. Nothing made by man can compare.
Kindred spirits see and understand in an instant. You have a good heart..
Me too

UGH I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU
I used to make acorn horses with toothpicks, acorns, etc when I was small because I desperately wanted a horse. I created entire stables of them but they never looked as beautiful as your acorn people do. I hope you continue to share your stories and experiences with us. Many thanks!
Hope you have or will receive your horse. 😊
I’m fascinated by the magic and creativity in your work. Just a thought: maybe the blue birds were nervous by the blue jay’s feather you used on the shepherd’s staff. Blue jays are notorious for eating smaller bird’s eggs and babies.
True, I've seen Blue Jay's take baby birds right out of the box.
I thought the same thing!
My 20 year old was fascinated by Bionicles when they were young. To this day, when looking at Legos with their youngest siblings they wax poetic about the good old days when there were Bionicles. Thank you for what you created then. And for what you are creating now. It has touched our lives in a very special way.
Phenomenal spirit and gentle creativity. How I think life really should be.
Clever and imaginative. The landing strip of diverse turf was my favorite.
My mom made simple little acorn dolls to play with when she was a little girl in the Shenandoah Valley.I hear a kindness in your voice .Your expression of nature is so real and beautiful!⚡💎💎💎💎💎⚡
I am completely charmed by the Becorns and your process. Thank you for making the world a better place.
I was really inspired by your backstory. I'm kind of in the same boat myself right now. Just quit my job last week because it was just destroying my body and happiness. I haven't found my acorn yet but I'm confident that I will. Keep up the great work.
Awee thats a cute way to put it

This is just amazing! What a wonderful little world you have created! I did wonder what the adult blue birds thought after they had moved into this house and laid eggs - all of a sudden this platform with grass appears! LOL! I'm like you, I'm just amazed when I see birds like bluebirds, orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, goldfinches! And they're just flying around wild! They seem too beautiful to be so normal. I became a backyard birder about 3 years ago and saw birds I have never seen before in my 52 years of life. And I long and Hope to see a lot more!
Dude bionicle was my entire childhood! Thank you so much for your work on the series, it had me captivated all the way until the line was cancelled :,) Im loving these videos so much keep up the wonderful work!
Knowing your background gives us the sense of how the Beecorns were created..making them so small is a skill..thanks for sharing..giving pleasure to many ❤
Marvelous! You just made my sunday! Along with the people chasing money and worldly tether, your creation bring balance what life truly means. Thank you
The World needs more people like you!
Becorns are without a doubt completely endearing ! Its easy to picture their future lives just by watching the story of their creation & the small interaction with the Bluebirds. I have raised baby birds before, 2 baby Mockingbirds, eyes closed & no feathers. My cat found them after a hurricane. Their constant feedings are a LOT of work. ( I was lucky, my neighbors raised parrots, so I had free baby bird food with all the vitamins they needed) That may be the only way you CAN get the shots of birds & the Becorns you want. You would be surprised how many people in your community raise or take care of injured birds. When they were ready I taught them how to find bugs & worms under small rotting branches. They left when they were ready to, sleeping indoors till then. I still have a large amount of Mockingbirds around my house today. Blue Jays & Chickadees may be more human socially friendly, if you get the Jays when theyre young - they like wet meaty dog or cat foods. Chickadees also take well to hand feeding. I'm very much looking forward to the adventures of the Becorns. Yes , you made the right decision :)
You did a awesome job with Bionicle. I spent hours as a kid posing mines in my mother’s garden. Rainy days especially. I see the exact same energy in your Becorn people
I just found you and feel like I’ve met a kindred soul. I have bluebirds at my home in Northern Michigan. I have ALWAYS had a indescribable love of acorns. I totally got your creation story as my boys grew up playing with Bionicals. Thank you for following your creative heart. What a joy to have found you.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I love this! I know so many people who would appreciate this gentle art.
You are an REAL Artist! 💖
I'm so impressed! 😍
Heartwarming art! ❤️
And your children are blessed having such a patient dad! 😉😊
Thank god there are people like you in the world !! Curious, creative, respectful of nature, daring and imaginative! ❤ 🐦
Videos like this help the world make sense. I can’t express how much I love this video.
I made similar creatures but used flowers for fairy wings and neutral pipe cleaners for the body. These pictures spark the creativity in me again. Thank you.
How lovely this is. Thank you for helping birds and children, as well as adults. ♥️
David, what a wonderful and very inspiring video. I'm a high school art teacher and I'm showing your work/videos and website to my students. My youngest son and daughter were walking with me today and we found these huge acorns we've not noticed before. We have Live Oaks and Water Oaks all around our house( in Mobile, Alabama) but they have very small acorns. The ones we found today were three times bigger. We showed them to my wife and were talking about them during lunch. We talked about My Neighbor Totoro and how cool it was when the Totoros left little acorn gifts wrapped with leaves- such a magical movie. Well, Google heard us talking about it. Our phones were off and still, about 30 minutes later when my wife was watching a gardening video, a link showed up to your Becorn video. We usually get irritated when Big Brother is listening, but it worked out well today. We LOVE your work. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Cool how one thing leads to another.
Amen.🙏
Amazing. These should definitely be for sale to encourage our children to nurture nature and explore the wilderness. Also I can see this as a tv series. Good for you 🌳
how talented David you are and what an incredibly sweet, kind and curious world you have created for us to enjoy. Thank you for all that!
Your work is uplifting, peaceful, and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your creations with us.
it looks good and it good for our health and nature aswell also pretty fun!
Дружище ,ты просто гениальный ,с особым мировоззрением человек.Мы с дочкой просто в восторге !!! То что ты делаешь просто бесподобно !!!👏👏👏
Bionics were so cool when they came out. I remember loving a certain white one when they came out. These are so natural and creative. So awesome!
Kopaka will always remain #1.
@@francisb.314 that’s it!!! I had to look that up- I didn’t even remember them having names lol ah the nostalgia and those cool cylindrical packages they came in. That was the one I loved- he was the ice one. So many imaginary adventures I went on with that toy lol 😆
Hello from NYC! I just can’t help feeling that no matter the kind of crappy day you’re having, one can’t help but smile after seeing your Becorns! I know it made me smile! 🥰
Thank you for acknowledging the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and the illegality of collecting feathers! You are so creative. I enjoy watching the videos of you designing and making the Become and the environs, and the resulting photos. I just love the little world you created 😍
It's so cool to see and hear you talk about your creative process. You combine the great outdoors with a fascinating fantasy world. You're very talented and creative. Can't wait to view more episodes.
Reminds me alot of Rudolph special... I absolutely loved that annual event as a kid. And after a 20 year absence from watching it I saw it this Christmas ... And I can't explain the emotion I felt watching it... Keep doing what your doing ! You have no idea the kids will be positively impacted by this. GodBlessYou
Wow David, this is really cool. I'm showing this to my 6 year old son right now as something to aspire to - bringing beauty and wonder to the world.
One of the most interesting videos I've seen. The Becorn construction was amazing to see and so lifelike in a cartoon way. The narration was peaceful and precise. And the birds and their home were awesome.
CodeBullet pointed me to your channel. Thank you for bringing a bit of peace and quiet to my morning.
This is precious! The world needs more people like you! Thank you!
I absolutely love this you are so brilliant. Once upon a time there was a becorn named Eldridge he was the elder of the forest and keeper of all the forest animals. As the months passed by he knew it was almost time for Beverly and Simon blue birds little ones to hatch . So he decided to make the 2 day venture from oak hill to blue feather lane in hopes to bless the younglings before they start their journey in life. As he arrived it was just in time big plans were underway and they were getting dinner ready for the big flight ahead. Big brother blue stopped to say hello and let Eldridge know how the younglings were fairing and offered him a small pillar as a token of gratitude for blessing the younglings on their journey . Eldridge was very pleased with the offer but decided the younglings could use it more than he so they could build up their strength so he wished them best of luck and was on his way as big brother blue took the pillar to the younglings.
Dave, this is simply wonderful. It's incredibly touching.
This was a relaxing and enjoyable little story. Congrats on keeping me hooked all the way to the end!
Such a *Patience* Guy ❤
*sending virtual hug and love across time and space*
I find your Becorns very appealing. I love their little faces, and I was immediately captivated by the images with wildlife, it’s a brilliant concept. Children love animals and I think you have something really special here.
This is sooo beautiful. It's wonderful to see something so truly creative in every respect. I am a preschool teacher and I agree with NC T that you should venture into writing. These days digital books and paper books would both work. Congratulations on a wonderful concept and well done for following your creativity
Oh how I wish we lived in a world where becorns were real! Such talent! ❤️
Yes... I’m 75 yrs old tiny woman who lives alone. Been on my own a long time. I’ve always felt a strong connection to non humans and to whimsy. Still feel that way. I think humans could learn a thing or 2 from watching nature videos about nature and wildlife...and learning about how smart, compassionate and loving sooo many non humans are. Amazing, in my opinion. So is your creativity and the Becorns.
We need more heroes like you. We’re all part of Nature...but non humans seem to happier, more content, and seem to lead less complicated lives than many adult humans.
New subscriber. Glad I found your channel. Loving your stories and your videos. Thanks much. ❤️💫🙏🏻
@@sandella11beautiful thoughts you have, maam im a young 22yo man but i agree with you, since we don't talk much about healthy, whimsy fun stuff eventhough most children appreciate it its like we are similar creatures that have been raised in different homes
i wish we started creating an intentional, thoughtful and healthy, empowering society and communitys instead of whatever harmful and damaging acts we've been doing against nature . then there is hope for a better future
Incredibly sweet little acorn faces! I used to make owls out of the rough side of milkweed pods when I was little. I am so happy to see an adult finding creative uses from nature! I hope it will get children outside, away from tvs & phones ,& back to nature! OUTSTANDING, David!
I loved Bionicle so much as a kid. Still holds a place in my heart, especially the bohrok-kal!
I appreciate this so much about life. 😊
Such a interesting transition from man made materials into natural materials. Love your story and artistry. Continue the journey and craft it becomes your natural style. Thanks for giving Becorns!
Absolutely charming. Such a breath of fresh air on what's been a grey day. Thanks for your peaceful narration and delightful creations!
This was such a happy surprise that came up randomly on my yt feed, and I'm so glad it did. I was enchanted and delighted with your little acorn folks, and the gorgeous photography. You are such a wonderfully talented creator, and I adore what you've made. Heartfelt thanks for these beautiful glimpses of a world I wish existed. 🧚♂️🧚♀️❤
That was so interesting! You are very creative, David, thanks so much for sharing your story, the process of creating of those adorable becorns & beautiful pictures! I absolutely adore all things miniature & used to love making fairy gardens.
Hi fellow Becorn lovers, i just wanted to let you guys know that channels like these are just what makes me love people sometimes. There is another channel similar to the way David shares his story and thats "Tanks for nothin".
just 2 men doing what they love and showing it to the world is just something magical in itself
i hope i get to see more channels like these instead of those awful tiktok dancing explicit videos, and actually appreciate this side of youtube
thanks for sharing your work David!
with lots of love from India
Your little Becorns are really sweet. And the shots together with the Bluebirds are adorable.😍
This is the second time I watched this and cannot tell you how happy these becorns make me You made my days.
DAVID!!! You are my hero! I just now discovered you. I am 67 years old, and I have always loved animations, childlike figurines, stuffed animals are real to me, and now you confirm that these worlds all exists :o)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart :o) OXO.
... all the way from México :o)
Love your world. It makes me happy. Happy and peaceful. Thank you. ❤️
Dear sir
Thank you......as missionaries ya never forget where ya came from. But its certainly hard to look back.
Tonight you have made all things beautiful and we thank you.
What a gift.
Omg, keep uploading videos, it’s so relaxing watch all the process to create a Becorn! Great job, I love it!
This is so precious and cute! It really filled a hole in my heart to watch this ❤️ thank you for sharing
Hello 👋how are you doing?
This is truly magical. I was mesmerised watching and listening to you making your little acorn people, and the pics with the birds are just wonderous 🥰 Thank you.
It’s so relaxing watching these beautiful fairy tale stories ❤
We all had the same feeling the moment we saw the Becorns and the videos.Very enchanting!
I’m dying here! Soooo amazing! I love every single part of this process and your story! I’ve entered into your story now. How beautiful. I need a becorn of my own!
AMAZING!!! Love how your helping everyone slow down and take time to appreciate the simple yet stunning things in nature from the beautiful bluebirds to the adorable little Becorns! 😊 Thank you!!
Those are really cool. It’s amazing they seem to have facial expressions. They remind me of little elves. You could write a book about these characters and show the pictures to illustrate. It’s so creative. Good job!
The world you are creating is so special. Thanks for sharing and giving others an opportunity to experience this with you.
Hospitals would LOVE to hang your photos in patient rooms because they are so peaceful and comforting. I hope you will contact some.
I love the Acorn people, they are so cute!! I have always been fascinated with "little" things! You do a great job making them!!
I’m so glad this popped up in my recommendations, the characters are so cute and very creative, everything is well thought out, good work sir 😋
I couldn't be more thrilled to see your channel recommended to me! The birds around me have become so much more prevalent in my yard the last year and watching them make me so happy! I love your little accord creatures and it makes me want to make my own creatures for fun! ❤️🐣
Hi David, i randomly came across your video. Having recently become a father, watching our daughter grow up discovering the world with amazement, i just want to say that your photos/ art really touched me. Thank you.
Brings back childhood memories for me. I used to make little acorn people as a child. Love yours 💗
I love this creative idea! I have watched these two episodes over and over! Can't wait for episode three!
doesn't look like it's coming...
@@moonhunter9993 Someday! I have footage of Episode 3 and need to edit it :)
