Dead birdie: copper.

---

Frankly, I am not happy with the way this turned out. The chasing of the actual bird is allright; it is based on a house sparrow chick.

The teeth of the actual comb, however.. If I were to do it again, 'd elongate the entire thing and leave the teeth of it straight.

I -am-, however, quite happy with the edge-thickening on the top. Too bad it's not very visible in this shot.

Merely a side-project, though it has found a permanent home in the bathroom.

Awesome work!
The poor dead birdie looks very realistic and I kinda like the twisted teeth actually, it makes the piece look very interesting and unique. Definitely caught my eye while browsing the main DA gallery :)

It's chased and repose'd. :)
Basically, you take a flat sheet of metal, you take a set of chisels, and hammer with a tiny-tiny hammer until something looks right.

Sorry for the long reply, I'm in the middle of nowhere right now.
