Dang!

Okay I know I said that I hoped to be finished with the phoenix by the end of the weekend and it's the end of the weekend and I'm not finished. Yeah but anyone knows who knows me and my sculpture knows that there was no way I was going to finish. On the other hand I made a lot of progress. I had also hoped to stay under the 20 hour mark on this sculpture and unfortunately I am at 20 hours. Okay so yesterday I was able to finish out the body but had to remove it from the base to do it but I would have had to do that anyway to put the feathers on.






Today I began to put the feathers on. I am using Netflix packages because they are red. You know the end that you have to pull off to send it back. It is going well but slow.




I was able to complete one of the more complicated areas (the feet).



Oh well actually they are not complete because I am going to use the inside wrapper of gum to do the actual feet and beak an the glue that I was using did not stick well to either side of the wrapper. I kinda expected that on the foil side but thought the other side that is paper would stick well. It didn't. I think that the paper must be waxed or something so I will need a different glue for that part.
