She was a fancy chicken, curly feathers and all and on the small side so I wonder if maybe she'd had some sort of defect from the start which limited her time with us.
The skin was thin but tough (like a wet swimsuit) and dreamy to work with. I basically just pulled it off with my bare hands in no time at all; no delicate surgeon cuts necessary. Just another reason I love working with chickens.
Almost finished. I love the messy and curly feathers; the whole thing reminds me of a Jim Henson puppet.

Look at that poof! I have been dreaming of working with one of these ever since I met them and I am quite pleased with how she turned out so far.

Her feet are drying around balls of clay because I have something very special in mind...
