These can't be too hard to make I don't think.
Chicken wire, Newspaper, flour, paint and lacquer ... right?

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

Those are TOO cool!

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.

Beautiful!! I remember doing papier mache in grammar school. I made a dinosaur if I remember correctly.
