I made these birds using bits of scrap paper I had on my desk. I randomly cut them into vague shapes of birds, adding their legs, beaks, feet and wings/tails. I also glued on a wiggly eye. These birds measure around 2 1/4 inches to 3 1/2 inches in height. Total fun to create! Once again, I didn't "think" too much about what I was doing. I didn't want them all "neat and tidy". They are supposed to look a bit "messy".
For the funky bird above, I cut out a white daisy from a piece of scrap paper, and attached it using a yellow dotted brad. This bird I have titled, "Shackled by Christmas"! As you can see he has a pair of handcuffs around his legs!
They were a tad fiddly to do, especially the legs which are very thin strips of paper. So this is what I was making at 5.30 am this morning! I think my favourite one is the one with the handcuffs on his legs! The humour of it tickles my fancy! Theres videos on you tube of these birds. Just search for Whimsical Wonky Birds. The video I found was not clear to see, it was quite blurry. I didn't follow her instructions, just looked at the birds and thought, "I can do that", and I did!
Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
