Blackbird of Happiness--finished



r
Here are the last few images. The background is made from a piece of old upholstery sample covered with the leftover gauze from Molly's tooth removal (the dentist office gave us enough gauze so that she could bleed for the next few years and not run out). The branch, blackbird and black parts of the tail are made from various parts of a grapefruit bag. The wing and tail are made from a little red leather moccasin.

so help me out here- how did you get to the last picture from the second-to-last? Is that paint? I like it a lot, by the way- I think you should have won. Too bad we'll never know for sure!

It is paint. The blackbird didn't stand out enough.
