    Perhaps a project for someone with space and time to try that out?

    Neat! I don't know...they'd be pretty hard for me to make and I'm fairly crafty. Although I don't think I've done paper mache since the third grade. I'd have to try to hone my "skills". They are really nifty though!

    Those are beautiful. I'm afraid if I tried that I would end up with a huge mess of newspaper, flour, paint and lacquer not resembling a bird of any kind as my end result though!

    Wow, those are beautiful! For one of my classes, we're making pinatas, and I'm making a Toucan.
