bird bird bird...bird's the word

i think that for the rest of the week i will get no sleep. there's so much to do and so little time before i leave to baske in the beautiful white sand beach known as playa del carmen. as soon as i let myself indulge in the thought, reality quickly slaps me in the face, insisting i pull a few all nighters to get my 5 sculptural replications done before wednesday night. so, my subject is none other than a cute little chirpie bird i got for my bday some years ago. i have to replicate it 5 times 3 dimensionally, using 5 different processes. this is just the first phase of the project, as if it isn't hard enough! anyway, i have managed to do one so far, which i am EXTREMELY proud of since it was my own innovation (hey, when creative genius hits, you have to embrace it and be thankful!). here's some pics of my first chirpie bird replication made entirely from hot glue using nothing else but a hot glue gun and glue sticks!!! don't be fooled by its size. this mother took me 4 hours! if you look close enough, you can even see the eyeballs on the glue bird. this ultimately will extend to a piece entitled bird nest soup. stay tuned...

aren't they cute and round?
