March 18, 2019: Today was a rare sunny day, so I spread the raven and crane feathers on the patio table, and my husband helped me brush them with fabric stiffener. While they dry, I'm getting started on the legs.
Picture
​Step 1 in making raven legs: I cut 16-gauge wire into 40 9-inch lengths -- four wire pieces per leg for five birds.I also cut 10 3-inch pieces of brass tubing.
Picture
I strung four wires through each brass tube, leaving 2" sticking out the bottom.
Picture
I bent the wires into toes. Tomorrow I'll add claws.
