 "Bluebird of Paradise" by Marc Barger Here's a pic of a male Eastern Bluebird carving I just 'redid'. This was shipped to the collector and good ol' UPS broke it into 4 or 5 pieces!! Long story but they paid the claim in full!! So she shipped it back and I remade the branch (which is what broke). Anyway, used tupelo gum wood for the bird, Buckeye burl for the base, solid brass rods bent and carved for the branch and twigs (now is officially UPS proof), brass sheeting for the leaves and blossoms. Painted with acrylics. Life size.  |
