snow bird

January 15, 2008

A new bird. Her wings are made from tiny hands.  The painting in the background is by Brigid McCabe.

And a little owl from my sketchbook. I like his face.

    who would have thought to use the “hand” punch for the plumes? you are pure genius.

    The texture of the feathers reminds me of coral. You continue to just be amazing.

    I like the handprints…makes me think of all the projects little kids make out of handprints. Always a special design!

    oh I like him too. If you even make him you could use false eyelashes on him?

    The feathers…I am always stuck on these with your work. And I see you’re selling your rooster! If only I had some extra monies rolling around. I would proudly display your rooster!

    I love your birds! I like how the sculptures themselve have a sketch feel. They somehow convey a line quality.
