Oh Dear


So, I'm meant to be making a malevolent Twitter bird: an indictment of a gossip fuelled society where people's lives can be destroyed by a 140 character tweet.

Evil? I fear not. Still I'm quite chuffed that I made it from scratch (including the pattern) and, regardless of how it's failed as an art work, I do still rather like it.

I've yet to paint the feet and put sticks and stones in the nest, which will no doubt result in more cuts on my hands like I got today from moulding the chicken wire. Never mind, perhaps a bit of fresh blood will begin to build that desired sense of cruelty.
