Mini birds are for the birds!

[Dale Allen]

These are way too difficult to make look good.

You have patience! I don't think I would even give that a try....maybe I could make a stick bird with tooth picks!

 

[bobjackson]

I think they look great.

They look great but I would probably cheat a little and go to the craft store in town to buy some tiny birds. Will have to look next time I'm there. Or I could scroll some on the scroll saw.... Even that is tiny and hard to get a handle on them... Great job. Fay

Looks good from what I see. Looks really difficult to make. Thanks for sharing.

Dale... The birds look great!!!

When you posted that you would make them... I thought you were nuts!!!

I can't imagine the challenge to get these to look good - BUT you did it!!!

The time involved may not be worthwhile, but you did a wonderful job!

Be well, Mark

Mark, I probably an nuts....but it is an agreeable state of mind!:biggrin:

The redbird was mostly made all at once and it proved difficult to get all the features included without deforming the clay. In the end I put on the yellowish colored beak afterward.
The others were made in about 4 steps with some black marker at the end.
I like working with polyclay but I seem to have less of a steady hand than I used to.
Thanks all for the comments.

Those are amazing, real works of art if you ask me.
