Do what you feel is best. If it's too difficult for you to do, that's just fine. I understand completly

Hey Jarrod (if thats your name... if not... it is now :smile: ) i've always seen great work from you but never expected Big Bird to be a part of your collection.

I myself thought to do a big bird. But i'm so amature its not something i can do off the bat.

If i may ask, did you make a foam base, then add feathers? Or can you not reveal what you used to stick feathers on.

Was it expensive to buy all those feathers?

Hey there Cookie, yes thats my REAL name, Big Birds head is a foam skull with feathers hot glued to it one at a time, his body is made with netting with hoops to give it shape - the feathers are also hot glued on one at a time - over 5000 feathers so far and counting, it has cost me a fair bit to make so far and I have just bought his large tail feathers which were expensive. I have been making him a little at a time so it hasn't been just one big cost, its been fun - and many many hours of work . Hope this helps
