Driftwood wader

A few weeks ago I found this wonderful piece of wood on Seaton beach.

How perfect for a birds face and bill! Last night I sat with my box of driftwood sticks and had a go at creating the rest....

This is a shot of the other side...

The leg pieces aren't right - need to keep my eyes peeled when I'm on the beach again.
Then there's the tricky problem of getting him to stand up....!

    I think he's excellent.
    Just wait for his legs - one day you'll find just the right pieces and then you'll be delighted.

    It's a curlew! It has such a gentle character and looks graceful - fantastic considering he can't stand up yet but I'm certain you'll get those legs steady!

    Bloody hell babe it's fab. And if you want my very amateur opinion, I think the pins are great. Ax
    PS. BigBean rather surprsingly (and touchingly) loved the Valentine Love Bird. Ta. x

    Oh he's just brilliant, love the colours in his body. The wood looks so smooth, I just want to reach out and touch it.

    I totally saw this as a bird from the first pic. He's lovely - good luck with the standing up part!

    Fantastic - I love it!! I love that you also managed to create something like that even though that imbecile from TT was yelling Shabbaaaaaaaaaa in a rather distracting and embarressing manner! :D (Sorry, couldnt help myself from mentioning that again!!)
