For the Brazil-project, I thought I´d do something on tropical birds. So today Patrick the Parrot was born.

Making the background in fabric, so I have something to embroider on.

Adding the layers of thread.

The soul is in the eyes.

Adding a bit of paint to his beak makes it more three-dimensional. Patrick the Parrot at home in the rainforest. Tomorrow Mr. Tucan will join him.
