Cardboard Bird Armature

Forming the shape of the giant bird sculpture with cardboard strips for the body and head.
Cardboard sculpture armature of giant Nuff bird being built.

Fill in the bird with cardboard strips and develop a rough shape for the bird. Bulking out the form with cardboard is very satisfying. I continue filling in with cardboard, forming a “lath” structure that my concrete paper clay will trowel over.
