May 21 - Magpie


“A bird is safe in its nest - but that is not what its wings are made for.”

― Amit Ray, World Peace: The Voice of a Mountain Bird

This bird is another that Mr. Sung teaches in his weaving series.

Some of the weaving techniques are not new, but it's refreshing to see a different approach to what you have assumed to be the right way to do things.

This was a fun bird to build, and the perch is something that really shines - it's so sturdy and stages the scene splendidly.  (whee!  Alliteration!) (also - Sorry to anyone with a lisp who was reading that out loud...) 

The rainbow tailed bird is closer to the demonstrated technique, I took a couple liberties with the other when playing.
