~Golden Phoenix~

I can finally tick this off the to do list:D

Made from gold card and hot glue with a little wire for support (body and wings) + bamboo for base.

It's soaring wings span approximately 30cm

What's funny is that I really suck at drawing wings yet I'm pretty happy how these ones turned out:)

Didn't really feel like adding lights this time round hehe

Hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it!

ah there's no such thing as a stupid question:)

Basically it's just regular card from the craft store, except the one I bought is gold and has a slight shine to it. Best advice I can give you about starting is to first experiment with bits of card and see how scoring them in different ways creates different shapes when you fold it (curved lines, straight lines). Then you can slowly figure out what type of scores you need to make to create for example the head/beak etc.

Let me know if u got any other questions:D
