Corvids are my most favourite species to work with, especially big old crows like this one!
Unfortunately this adult was part of a pair found deceased next to one another as a result to a fight of the death, where nobody won!
The injuries beneath the skin were really quite horrific, I must say.
This handsome taxidermy crow will be for sale once dry and complete.
I always have odds and ends in my workshop from fallen feathers to little bones and such and I think I’ve found a way of making good use of them!
Here’s my first prototype of a wood and resin pendant with a Jay feather cast in to it.
It took a long while to perfect sanding through all of the grits and polishing to make the resin clear again, but I’m so happy with how this has turned out.
They will soon be for sale, so keep your eyes peeled!
I’ve recently completed this gorgeous pair of common starlings.
Beautiful birds to work with! Although considered a bit drab and even common pests by many people, they actually have this stunning multi-colour iridescence to them.
No photo will be able to capture these stunning colours, but once you see for yourself when they shimmer in the sunlight, you’ll be amazed!
I also experimented with a new base technique, using weight to counterbalance I set up this shelf mount.
The unusual branch stems from the oak base and hangs downwards over the shelf, giving a dynamic appearance.
