Each one is a clear cut from 5mm MDf board, covered with stretch velvet, backed with hand stitched black felt and painted with airbrushed and brushed acrylic. They measuring 60cm from beak to tail with legs made from foiled copper wire. I am working on a new exhibition for the 8th December 2008 at the Deluxe cafe in Wellington. Called 'Velvet Honeys', it features birds of a different variety, designed to tickle your nostalgic senses.

Stunning. I'd love to see them in the flesh, as it were. Our family has a thing for birds.
Thanks! How much do you sell them for Fifi?
They are $320 each. There are three in a wee gallery called Kiwi Art House up the top of Cuba St if you want to have a look at them in the flesh so to speak. I also have a Saddleback here. I make to order too. You can e-mail me at fific@paradise.net.nz
Looks great!

Only Wellington I'm afraid. I thought I had an outlet at Magazzino in Newmarket for a bit, he ordered five then when it came to a job order went quiet...like the lawyer who said she wanted 3 birds, 3 beetles and 3 flowers and then said she was broke when it came to a deposit. A broke lawyer? Never heard of such a beast! Frustrating when you buy the materials and get ready to start. I learned something there...
