I thought you might like to see a closer look at my birds to see the fine detail of each pattern I drew. The tropical birds and plant life wallpaper in the restaurant provided a starting point to research and draw the patterns required for 22 birds in total. There is the rainbow lorikeet, cockatiel, the Hoopoe and Lesser Bird of Paradise. Each bird was matched with nature’s flora. Plant life included Pink Bromeliad, Escargot, Frangipani, Monstera and a palm-like leaf.
I’ll reveal my making processes over the coming weeks. From slip cast and joining to drawing, drilling, firing and polishing … it’s no wonder the project took me 3 and a half months to make.
