I'll leave you with a pic of a bird I altered yesterday. Nathan found the bird in the clerance section at Target. It was all blue and not something I would typically pick up, but I saw what it could be and just had to get it. Here's how it turned out:
In order to get the paper to cover the bird and not drive myself crazy with measurements and cutting I decided to use the paper mache method. I cut the paper into small strips and the crumpled them up to make them softer and more moldable. I then attatched them to the bird with Mod Podge. After the strip was attached I applied more Mod Podge to the top and rubbed the strip with my finger to make sure all the air bubbles were out. Once the bird was finished I painted the base and hot glued some Making Memories leaves to the base. I then added flowers, brads and gems to complete the look. I'm so happy with how it turned out.

I think you did a fabulous job re-inventing the bird into something really beautiful. I love the way you saw its potential and followed through.
