Make a 3-Dimensional Self-Standing Metal Bird : Tutorial with images!

Hey hey! Here's tutorial with pictures of how I made the 90% metal bird which is displayed in my virtual Art Gallery :)

This tutorial is just a guideline. You can change the colours up a bit, experiment with materials, bend the rules and make it your own! That's what art is all about! :D

Warning: Safety first! Look after yourself. Be careful with the metal -- it can be sharp! Wear safety glasses at the welding machine (if you use it) and be cautious with the hot glue gun! *Don't* use this as a beginner's project (unless you have a good helping hand around!) because it can get a bit complicated. Also, make sure to set aside more than just a couple hours, because this'll take some time!

Good luck!
