Needle Felted Life size (2'Hx3'W) African Grey Crowned Crane with Chick and Egg in a nest.
This was a long complicated project. Easily the biggest project I've worked on so far. Orginally it was suppose to be standing. I made the legs (twice) out of polymer clay with a wire frame which did not work out at all. The nest added some much needed stability. It taught me a lot about the limitations of polymer clay.
If I redid a standing crane similar to this at some point in the future, I would need thicker metal inside. Even with triple wire framing on the inside, it twisted and snapped the legs several times.
