Learn how to make your very own paper Hummingbird with this hand crafted kit by Zack Mclaughlin of Paper & Wood.
Learn the techniques Zack has honed over the years to create paper feathers and ultimately your own mini Hummingbird sculpture. The Hummingbird is life size once completed, with a wingspan of approximately 15cm.
Zack takes many weeks to research and design every bird he makes, looking at the bird from many angles and finding feather libraries from where he can draw out the blueprints needed to create his sculptures. These blueprints allow for accuracy when recreating what he finds so beautiful in the natural world.
These original drawings have been reproduced within this kit for you, so you too can work from the very drawings Zack lovingly illustrated.
This craft is a very mindful one, snipping and gluing paper feathers for hours, there is something quite meditative about it. To fully complete this Hummingbird could take from 10-20 hours, depending on your speed and skill set, but you can dip in and out as often and for as long as you like each time, a lovely project with a real sense of achievement at the end.
Zack’s birds are a true ode to nature, and as such he takes hours upon hours making each one, he really hopes you can get into the same mindset and fall in love with paper as well as all of natures details.
