This is a fantasy bird that I just couldn't find a name for even though I like him. I stopped before going crazy with all the embellishments and he turned out more to the realistic side. Maybe I was influenced by the painted bunting. See more of him in my etsy shop...[link]
No he's to big for a pin. He's made from fiberglass, the original I sculpture from clay. Check out some other pictures of him at my etsy shop...[link] Thanks!
