Embroidery Thread Parrot


Here is a parrot made from embroidery thread...but not embroidered. What did I learn from this? First, Buddy thinks embroidery thread is a wonderful cat toy. Molly agrees with Buddy. Second, embroidery thread parrots are very difficult to make due to marauding kittens.


Second, I learned that the reason you often see parrots with shortened tails is because of marauding kittens.


We'll call this a closeup of the parrot, but the truth is that it no longer has a tail...

Fantastic art work, despite the marauding kittens!

This parrot is so wonderfully colorful - you have a great set of colors of floss .

You are one of the most creative and humorous bloggers I follow. Your adventures with your kitties just crack me up.

LOVE the parrot! Especially how the paper bands intersperse some neutral color.

love your sense of humor, and your marauders. Are they (the parrots and the kitties) keeping you from your quilt making?
