Disney has a new show about pirates based in Neverland. The bird (Scully) who's friends with the main good-guy characters is Scully. He's a parrot, seen here:

Here's my first attempt at is tonight:

I wanted to add more green forehead which I did here:

I rolled the knot too far forward on the second attempt so the beak is too long. I tried to re-tie it shorter but could make the knot.
Regardless, I think I'm partial to the first one.

Qualatex doesn't have a goldenrod heart. To get that color beak I stuffed an orange heart inside a yellow one. Where I tried to retie the knot on the second one you can see where I roughed it up a bit in my attempt.

great job:-D

Yes I like the first one as well.

Those are really wicked!! I love them. Could I ask What type of marker you used for the white, I've tried a chalk pen with no success?

I use Deccocolor paint makers. That one was a little dry but they generally do a good job.

Nice job!!

Looks great Sean!

Cool! You've just cost me a biscuit!

I told my 4 year old I'd let him have another biscuit if he could guess the balloon - he got it in an instant. If it passes the kid test, then it's a good result for me

And here I thought I was the only one who used their kids for a blind quality control check!

Whenever I am working  on something new, I always show it to each daughter separately and ask them what it is. It only goes onto the "approved" list if both recognize it instantly without hesitation.

My 5 year old daughter loved the post of Scully.  And now, of course, she has requested I make all the other characters too.

I have a Jake to make for Sunday - should be fun to do!

Here's a picture of a Jake I made a while back - hope it helps give you some ideas daisydoos.  

ooooh, marvellous - thanks very much!!

That will make life much easier, I appreciate that loads.

No worries daisydoos - good luck with your piece, I'm sure it will turn out great.  

Wonderful Scully by the way seanmcd51 - love it!

Well I did my version (to be honest yours was a perfect example Withatwist so couldn't improve on it  :lol: ) I just added him swinging through the trees as most of his pics showed him like that.

They were more than happy with it anyway! Thanks for the inspiration.

Yay, great job!  Love the tree.  So glad I could help - I feel so useful.
