Black birrrrd, FLY.

I have starlings to skin/play with/practice on so I skinned and dyed a bunch of them assembly style.  There was an alumni event at school from my previous life which I attended Friday night and I thought it would be wise for me to wear something of my own creation and come armed with business cards.  Here's some of the prep:



It fakes me out every time when I see how pathetic the skin looks past-rinsing when I can't imagine if coming together and looking like a bird again.







All the starlings, laying out.







I used one for my head piece, here it is mounted and posed.







After that I added eyes, and some accents.  Pictures of it actually in someone's hair to come...
