Playful Pillow

I have been stalking the squirrels in my backyard – I wanted to take a picture – I needed a reference for a pillow I was dreaming up. Finally, one stopped long enough for me to snap a photo, but the image freaked me out!

OK, I know it was the flash on my camera, but wow! Well, I still went ahead with my project, I made a few adjustments here and there and I think I came up with something less frightening.
Playful pillow
I combined the art work from on old embroidery pattern with the images in my head and a playful pillow was born.

Hey, I love your playful take on the squirrel but how in the world did you make the pattern and transfer it to a pillow????
