Extinct but Not Forgotten

I was getting a little worried that I might have hit a dead end with my wire work. That I wasn’t getting any better, just doing the same type of thing over and over. Everything was different but the skill level wasn’t improving.

Well, today, I think I finally stepped it up. I made a bigger piece with more dynamic elements. It is loosely based on a Dodo bird, but more of the cartoonized Dodo, rather than the actual bird; taller and goofier looking.

It was really hard to get this guy to stand up on its own, but after a few minutes of tweaking and bending I found the perfect balance. Now I am afraid to move it!

One bird, two shadows.

    1. We’d love to commission and buy one (but it would be hard to choose just one!). I think you should do this as an artist/crafter – selling at craft fairs, etc. – or maybe in shops that are arts/crafts co-operatives….
