I made a cute birdy for my thread roll-up ( StitchMAP CQ Course) and a friend wrote to say she'd fallen in LOVE .
(it's yellow and orange, and sitting on the tree branch)
So, I offered to make her one, but she wouldn't tell me her preferred colour..........
I had this funky blue yarn with metallic strands
both the wing and the tail are in the 'funky fur'
I think he needs a trim ...lol
I made the bird on felt so my friend could use it as an applique........
she'll have to add the legs.......and trim the fur
but then I wondered if birdy would look better with a woven picot wing...
eyelash yarn makes the tail, but it's neat having a wing that moves.......
then I thought, maybe purple....hmmm
boy that purple is bright
back to the fuzzy eyelash yarn wing on a two-tone purple body.........
the funky trio
I wonder which one I'll send to my friend?
they're all kinda cute
but not as cute as the real thing!
Hope you're having a great day!
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz

A wonderful bird.
ReplyDeleteYour birds look terrific and your friend will be thrilled with the one you send her. Nice picture of the hummingbird at your feeder. I've been trying to get a pic of the one that's coming to ours but he flits away too fast!
ReplyDeleteDear Suz your birds are so cute and funny, really creative made.
ReplyDeleteHugs Anni
Ohhh I love the fat fluffy blue bird. All three and your CQ bird are wonderful. What fun you are having. Stitchilious Birds my dear...
ReplyDeleteWhat cutie pie creations your birds are. Great job.
ReplyDeleteFlowerLady
So creative! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful bird, and not thought of using that wool, it really makes a great bird. Well done
ReplyDeleteMargaret
Lurve these birdies Suz!What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteAwww - the hummer is beautiful, but I think your wee birdies are just as cute (especially the first fluffy one - he (she?) has such a sweet little face).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteI had to stand at the window with the camera held up for ages to get that shot. I have a few more I hope turned out. Thanks for commenting on my birdies, JPP.

Thanks so much, Anni! I really had fun making my birds.

The fat one is my favourite, Createology. It was the first blue one I made and I really like the metallic yarn.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.

Yes, Margaret, the wool worked fabulously. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFlittin' and flyin' fun, Judy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Magpie. She's my fave, too. I tried to make more faces just like hers, but it didn't happen.....so I had to make them all different....lol
