I have been itching to create a textile sculpture in ages. Now being the summer holidays with supposedly more time on my hands, and the opportunity of bird feet being present I’ve given it a go! Ok so not very attractive, but the process has been interesting & have a higher regard for the artist that do make these wonderful birds.Came across some old rusted tin birds, the feet were welded steel & still in fair condition which I spray painted gold. Had 1.6 galvanised iron wire [not the most pliable] which was moulded into a bird shape, then stuffed frame with newspaper & then started the process of attaching the fabric.
