Hummingbird commission — one of the last sculptures I'll be doing for a little while!

Width: 35cm
Height: 25 cm
Depth: 10 cm

CD shards (over 40 CDs used)
Wire mesh frame
Hot glue
Gold paint
1 week work time

I use kitchen scissors to cut the shapes I need out of the CDs, then arrange each shard by colour and size. I then hot glue those shards one-by-one to a wire mesh frame to create a natural feather pattern. They usually take a week to make, maybe longer depending on how motivated I am to get them done!

Oh, that's CD shards. I was wondering whether that was plastic or glass. Different approach, and magnificently crafted together. Great job, amigo. Whenever you can/will do more sculptures, I hope someone can get you to do a tiger's head. Or, even head, arm/leg and paw with claws out. If I get the money, certainly I would pay you for that. Serious tiger fascination, is what I have. But, enough on that, and sorry for doing such. Hope that what you're tied up with has some art connection that you can shards/post on here.
