KAT's Nature... Is To Be Creative: crow

Happy Autumn
Have to update my crow and my owls

made some daisy/sunflowers
with oven bake clay and decided they were too perfect looking
So...I added some modeling paste
mixed with acrylic paint to make them more unique

I wanted a more primitive folk art look
than molded flower shape

The leaf was formed flat
then I curled up the edges
like real leaves would be

I painted them again
and added white and yellow
and a burnt sienna center to the flowers
and a few shades of green to the leaves

I wanted to do more with the copper wire I have
so I thought a nice little swirl of it
in the center of the flowers would be pleasing to the eye.
do you like it?

Here is the updated crow with the yellow flowers
he is decorating his place too...

a few real crow feathers decorate his tail.

I sanded the base down on all the edges to
achieve a more primitive feel to the piece

This Sly Crow is stealing
shiny stars from the sky

What a great
balancing act Mr Crow !

Here is my updated owl with dancing pumpkins
or are they trying to roll away in the wind ?

Mr Owl is watching over the baby pumpkins
because someone
stole their mommy,
to make a Jack-o-lantern

this is some of my primitive bark art

did you notice his neck warmer of feathers
Thank you to
Theresa @ Run Around Ranch
for the feathers from beneath her bird feeders

I used the copper wire to make curl-ies on the pumpkin stems
the stems are actual pumpkin stems...

...a la Frankenstein
Yes,.. Igor, We have achieved pumpkin-perfection !

Hugs to you all
