artistic-aviary:

I mentioned a few days ago that I wanted to needle-felt a bleeding heart pigeon, and I decided to actually go through with it and finish him! <3 You can’t really tell from the photos, but he has a lot of ruffly detail on his back (and some on his front, too).

It took at least 5 hours to make this little guy, and he can fit in the palm of your hand. I exaggerated the heart on his chest because I thought it would be cute!

Here’s the original bird I based this guy off of:

I’d love to hear any feedback you guys have about him!

Oh— and does anyone have any suggestions for what his name should be?
