Blue papier-mache bird

Papier Mache Bird

I found the idea of such a birdie on the wonderful Tatyana Dubinsky's blog (in Russian): "Primitive papier-mache". Used a small plastic bottle as a mould, crumpled a paper ball — the head — and attached it, made a triangle cardboard beak. Attached a paper cone at the rear to be used for tail feathers later. Covered with three layers of papier-mache (small pieces of white paper with glue), attached feathers. Finished by painting and gluing wiggly eyes.

Hi Inna,

First of all, thanks for signing my guestbook.
I went through your blog and your work is fantastic! Such an imagination... really great! I just love the well... and 3d flowers look great, not to mention matchbox table and all the other things!

I'll come back to check your new work! Take care,
Roberta
