I found this book in the garage, it belonged to my granma. I think it's lovely. Anyway, I have made a papier mache bird.

This is how:

The usual suspects when it come to some pap mach, I taped up a few balls of newspaper , then smothered them in the sticky stuff.

Popped a tail on the bitch & left him to dry.

I added a beak, and some spindly legs that don't really work, gave it a few more layers of pap mach. It is now it lost all resemblance to a real bird. So I'll pretend it's a made up bird.

Here comes the paint...

Glue gunned on some button eyes, I think it makes them look dead. I like it.

Can't resist an excuse to use my stamp.

This is the finished thing standing in some plants. Rob says that lumps give it character, mine is such a ruddy character.

Unrelated: This is my fav snack. I love bean sprouts & balsamic vinegar.

This is my new puppy Arthur. He's a mother flimping cutie.

The things I love today...

This beautiful sewing shed that I am ridiculously jealous of.

(that I have found belongs to Junkaholique)

This cute homemade collar I found on BurdaStyle. (& the lovely taylors dummie)

Papier mache birds in twigs.& colourful homemade macaroons.

Tomorrow I will start/attempt to create these pretty pretty things.
