BLOB BIRDS

'Blob' birds start life as a (hollow) ball of clay, to which I add enough detail to make it look like a blackbird - or whatever.  The ball is about the size of your fist before I begin adding.  Each one is made individually, so the details are all different.  The ball is made by coiling, so that too is different for every piece. Consequently no two 'blobs' are the same.

Apart from PUFFINS and BLACKBIRDS, there are blobs for GULLS, GANNETS, EAGLES, CAPERCAILLIE, EIDER DUCK, and HARES.
