Life Imitates Art – The Hummingbird and Flower Pillows

by | Sep 7, 2015 | Life, Quick Thoughts

Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? I titled this post both ways and after too many back and forths, I decided that today, life imitates art.

For a little back story, my husband loves to feed birds. He had about seven or eight bird feeders placed in the back yard of our previous house. That made for a lot of bird seed on the ground, bird droppings and birds in general.  Last summer he gave all of those bird feeders away when we moved because we didn’t want to have all of that business on our little sand beach.  I think he was sad. 🙂

But the other day when he was outside doing whatever it is that he does outside, I noticed that this was placed by the window.  I guess he didn’t giveaway ALL of the bird feeders. So today as I am typing from the living room couch, this catches my eye.

And it reminded me of this pillow cover that I made recently.  Beautiful in real life and beautifully captured on a pillow.

Along our little beach, there is an enormous bush with these huge red flowers.  I am going to call them hibiscus, because in all honesty I have no idea and I am hoping someone more versed in the world of flora will pipe in and correct me.  Mom????  🙂

Hibiscus or not, here is the red flower pillow I made.

So….. Life imitates art or art imitates life? 😉
