I created Mr. Worm using polymer clay, matte acrylic paint and feathers. I added high gloss varnish to his eyes for some shine.<\/p>

The feathers are not just any feathers. I collected down feathers from my 24 year old African grey parrot, Monty- boy did she squawk.\u00a0 Just kidding, she had already molted them.\u00a0 I had to thoroughly brush the feathers with a toothbrush so that they would absorb the blue ink.\u00a0 Parrots produce a powder that they coat their feathers with that makes them water resistant.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
