the Kingfisher looked so real,
but it is made of wood and paper, not a real feather is used to make this bird,
or any of these, they are the work of London based artist Zack Mclaughlin,
they all look so realistic,
take this barn owl, each one is hand made by the artist and takes just over
100 hours to complete, the body and legs are carved out of wood, the feet and
eyes are made from clay and the wing and tail feathers are made from 200gsm
watercolour paper with wire for structure, then the body, face and feet which
are painted with acrylic paints before coating the whole owl with a few coats
of matte varnish to protect from dust and discoloration, not cheap to buy but
what fantastic artwork, and no I am not on commission, I just thought they
all looked really neat.
