Calypso

This is from an old project when I designed 7 pillows to match the parrots we lived with. Calypso, a maroon belly, or red-bellied macaw, is a miniature macaw only about 10 inches from head to tip of tail. I wish I could sew them into a quilt, but since I've never sewed, I settled for glue and felt and fabric paint.

Wow, I am impressed! Great job designing this! Is that a button for the eye? It works perfectly!

[Tessa]

Well done you. Photo and the making of the pillow

[Paula]

Very creative!

[Vanilla Spice]

What a masterpeice! Beautiful pillow and photo of it!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very nice! I bet you're resourceful enough that you could figure out a way to turn them into a quilt!

[Dixie Goode]

@wannabe Not a button but found a bag of these in the craft store, half round like a marble. Back flat except a peg sticking out. I cut a hole in the pillow and poked the peg in and glued the whole eye down with black fabric paint

[Mrs. Smith]

That's wonderful! You are very talented.

[Darlene]

So creative, Dixie. Love this pillow with so much meaning to you.

that's very clever and very creative. like you, i don't know how to sew even if my life depended on it. but i have a glue gun and i don't hesitate to use it on anything that would tolerate a glue gun. and recently i also discovered the 'liquid thread', yup! a glue for fabrics, works like magic! nice vibrant colours on this project. i like it.
