Useful Uri!

As well as ordering myself a much needed diary, and my boyfriend's birthday presents, I have been busy today experimenting with Uri. Uri is my unique little bird friend. He is hopefully the first in a flock of unique little bird friends. He took ages, he is heavier than expected (you could knock intruders out with him - very useful), and he is the strong silent type - he tweets less than I do :) I am not sure if I am to sell him in future, at the minute he still needs finishing, I will have to wait and see, I'm already growing far too attached.

Below you can see how Uri came to be...

A rough cage was created and then filled with foil, in the "hope" that Uri wouldn't be too heavy...

Then he was given his outer clay....

...and his decorative feathers!
