new BIRDS

Last night, I finally finished up these little birds that I started about a month ago.

The base is paper clay.

(do you remember the white birds on the blue plate?)

I added a couple of layers of papier mache and then wings.

After that, I curled the wire at the bottom and top, for hanging.

These two have butterfly wings with layers of glitter and mica

I just love the little curly-q's under the bellies of the birds....

.....what you don't see is the curly-q's at the top - as hooks
