Bird obsession and then some

So, as I mentioned in the previous post, I am heavily into making birds in all sorts of media lately. I therefore present you with a huge big one:

Papier mache, and boy did it give me trouble! I never made anything this big in papier mache and my construction was all  wrong because I was too impatient to start, which is why I didn't think it through. But after two days of struggle it came out as I wanted it and I am happy now. The wings were painted by my boyfriend and are not quite done yet, but I wanted to share ;) He made the table there as well and I am completely in love with it. That too still needs a few touch-ups, but I find it great. Not to mention that it was made completely out of found materials (the sides, for example are made from a doll cradle :)) )

Apart from the huge big burdie, I have been totally fascinated by fibre jewelry as of late and am experimenting with it. A few necklaces are done, but I still need to take pictures, and am working on a painting at the same time (in the next pic you can see how I hog the whole living room with my projects galore :)) )

I am rushing to finish it all up, since I am having house guests for the next few days and won't have time for much else but catching up and having craft unrelated fun. 

Be good and see you soon!
