"Blue Jay"





This is Blue. The final project for my "Explorations in Fibre" class.


He’s a streetwise jay who makes his home in an elm tree at the corner of Broadview and Danforth Avenues in Toronto. Originally from the valley, Blue moved here over a year ago to get away from the noise of the parkway and the rumble of the TTC.


Blue was a fairly involved project. He was created using a combination of wet felting, needle felting and machine embroidery.
