Im so tired doing things every single day, kill me

So, everything goes as it was planned. WOHOO! La-la-la-la... 

Yesterday have been done:

• birds body with the hole to put in a buttery and a light;
• all parts of the tail are done and painted;
• wings base done and covered with wire-mesh, ready to glue feathers and beads on them;
• body fixed on legs
• neck fixed to the body and the head. It even BALANCED!   f8ck me, that was really unexpected X)

   The body is made out of aluminium wire - egg shape and covered with wire mesh to finish the form. I have used polystyrene egg to try make the more exact. Unfortunately this idea didn't work, because in the end the body was too big and out of shape in some places. Had troubles when I wind Ali wire around polystyrene egg. It just didn't wanted to sit on one place and I abandoned this method/ idea quite quickly. The second body I  did by eye and it came out much more in shape I wanted.
   First I wanted to make the birds body out of polystyrene egg and glue the decoration on it, but when the idea with putting the light inside the bird came to me, the polystyrene egg wont be appropriate for this. I can't place the light in It.
   The wire mesh on the body works very well. It is light, it holds the light and battery inside and the decoration is very easy to stick on it as I tried it yesterday.

     The parts of the tail are made out of metal wire, thin cooper wire, glue, feathers and beads. the bead was fixed on a top of wire. The feathers were glued together. The PVA didn't work, so I used very strong glue for metal, plastic and wood.
     Feathers I ordered from e-bay, after I used painted crow feathers on a birds head. I have quite a few of them, as I picked them up in a park on a first part of the course, when we had research and mapping projects. I wouldn't say they look bad, but in compare to the small golden, purple and brown marabou feathers they do look poor.

   The wings again were made out of wire, the same way as I did them on a trial bird. The only difference is that i covered them with wire mesh, so it would be easier to glue the feathers on them and as well, so i can try feathers on and choose how I want to place them. There will be no beads fixed on wings, as it was planned in the beginning. The marabou feathers looks rich and effective by them self, the beads will be too much on.

  As all the parts have been joined together i was very happy with the result. I definitely made the right decision when I put extra golden wire on legs, as it made them heavier and made all the body balanced.

   Talking about neck, I would say that metal wire and big beads are there more for practical purpose. The wire holds the head and connects to the body and beads makes it easier to bend the neck with out damaging the form.
