Let's see. This bird started out as something else entirely (this is often the case with me). I saw a little prop in a photo in a catalog a few days ago (was it Urban Outfitters? Anthro.? I can't remember now). A little quail-like bird with no feet. I clipped it out and then dug up a ceramic bird I've had around forever. They look similar. I made a little sketch.
Then I made the bird and it looked nice, but it needed a crest, and some eyelashes. And then, all of the sudden, it was a chick for the peacock (pea hen, it seems).
She seems fairly happy with her new, unexpected baby.
funny how things morph like that sometimes.
it is a sweet pea chick.
Oh! Those eyelashes! She’s adorable!
Ow, wow! That’s fancy baby. I adore her eyelashes and her little head bobbles!
Wouah ! wonderful.
They are adorable!!!
By the way, I hope you don’t mind my boldness (!) but I wondered if you might be interested in http://creativebloggers.ning.com.

Please have a look and if you would like to join, I’ll see you there!
