You’ll need:
• Template 10 (see page 137) or your own
• A small piece of foam core
• The basic tool kit (see Tools, page 18)
• Two pieces of rice paper, for wrapping the foam core
• Collage and paint material
• Paper or Angelina fabric (see “Basic Angelina Sheets,”
page 77) for the wing
• Craft wire
• Jewelry pliers A
• Awl or pushpin
• Feathers of your choice
• Ribbon for hanging
• Foam core coated with matte medium
1. Trace the template (or make your own bird—as you can see, the

shape is open to interpretation) onto your foam core and cut it
out with a craft knife.
2. Glue the foam core bird to the piece of rice paper, and then cut
the rice paper so that there’s about ¾-inch overhang all the way
around the bird.
3. Make cuts in the rice paper from the edge of the bird to the
edge of the paper, all the way around the bird. (See photo A.)
4. Fold and glue the rice paper over to the backside of the bird,

allowing the tabs to overlap or spread out as necessary. They will
overlap on the outside curves and spread out on the inside curves.
Clip where necessary. (See photo B.)
5. Cut out the bird shape from a second piece of rice paper and
glue it to the back of the foam core bird, covering the turned-
under tabs.
6. Paint and collage the bird as you like on either one or both
sides. I used various papers with green in them and then painted
over them with green acrylic paint.
7. Using your jewelry pliers, twist a length of craft wire into two
or more “toes,” and then cut the ends of the wire, leaving an inch
or more extending from the “foot” to form a leg. Repeat with
another length of wire for the second foot. (See photo C.)
