... if you can't fly?

Busy day today!
I woke up and it was doing this outside my window...

... so I had to trek to college in my snow shoes with enough supplies to last the journey. I was just hoping it wouldn't end up joining the ranks of the Donner Party!

When I finally reached College I spent all day in the sewing room making a bird, the wings alone took about 4 hours. It looks pretty nifty though...

I'm so glad it's done! I think I want to do my final one like this, although I think I'll put a bit of wire in the wings to give them a bit more shape and will try not squish the feathers so much when I'm sewing it together lol

Lion

Had a fun day making this little lion. he does need some more deail on his face and I have forgotten to give him a tail and ears but apart from that I think it's not too bad. Bit of fur for the mane instead of Calico and there's a real life Simba :)

Myna Bird

I've had a fun week or so with my Myna bird-ing. Remember the wing I drew, first off I decided to make it out of paper...

(wing inside - the bit you can see from the front)

(wing outside - the bit you see from the back)

When I'd done that I decided I could move onto fabric stuff so I had a play and failed a bit...

I finally managed to get it right!

Now I just need to play with making it look like it has feathers and more like an actual bird and it's done lol
