Hi all,
Here comes the first challenge on the forum which is to make a bird,
if we all put on our seperate ideas as the month progresses the birds can evolve?
As soon as I've sorted out my picture sizing I'll join in.
So who's going to be first to post  :D

Mark,
Thanks for being the first to post, in the sweepstake I had Dave down to post first :lol:
That reminds me I made a parrot for a fancy dress parade a couple of weeks ago.
I'll see if I can hunt out a picture.

It looks like a woodpecker with that beak to me!
I discovered that I don't have pictures of birds except this one, so here it is.
I will make a bird as soon as I can. Does a penguin qualifies as a bird? It does, doesn't it?

Dave ,
Your bird is very nice!
I made this vulture at least five years ago.
The head & kneck perhaps should be pink?
Sorry cant seem to post the picture as I keep getting
"The extension bmp is not allowed"
Will try later, although I'm away to lecture in Birmingham tonight & Doncaster tomorrow,
so wont be able to post till friday night.

Well after emailing the picture to myself I can now post it.
These computers are a mystery to me.
The lady in the photo is Rie Hosokai, the lady that makes all the wonderful dresses.
The duck is a variation of mine when I was lecturing at TMJ.

This is a Chicken I learnt from Bonnie's pdf so don't know if I should put it in here as it's called "twist your own version".

I was a bit bored this afternoon so started to twist a bird with no thought of the finished outcome,
not sure exactly what it is. No doubt we will get some helpful suggestions?
