A needle-felted goldcrest. I made this for :iconhyougen:
The feet and beak are made of Cernit modelling clay, and the wing and tail feathers are from starling wings I bought from a fishing equipment store (they're actually for fly tying). The wings were a real pain to make. Each contains six of the smallest feathers on a starling wing. There is a finnfoan armature under the wool which makes the bird very light, only abot 5 grams (thats about the correct weight of a goldcrest).
This is the best bird I've made so far :)

I wouldn't exactly call it a toy but yeah, it's not a real bird. I made it myself.

Thanks. And I'm afraid not. I'm too busy with my studies to even do things for fun most of the time so I don't want any extra stress about commissions.

He looks really realistic, as if he fly away any second.
