Painting The Blue Footed Boobies

The blue-footed boobies finally got their blue feet! The weather (and the garden) slowed down this project, but now it's almost done. The two boobies need a base, which I'll do right after I do a little more digging.

Make sure you watch the first video in this series if you'd like to see how I make sure a bird sculpture can stand up on it's own two feet. https://youtu.be/mQuIxsv0gEA
And check out the adorable Puffin that was made using that technique - it really does work 😊 : https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/puffin
