Another use for my skinny fabric scraps–a rooster!

This handsome fella started out as a quick sketch…

Which I cut out and traced onto felt.

Then I added those skinny strips to make his feathers and added a mile of thread! (Actually, I didn’t measure the thread.)

Here’s the palette I used…

His face is all threads so it’s smoother.

The chicken wire is quilted with my favorite silver thread, Fil-tec.
