Y’know the gunk that builds up round the top of acylic paint bottles?
Y’know when the paint is copper color and it’s just so shiny and gorgeous that although it’s also dried up paint something inside you says No! Don’t throw that away! It’s pretty – stick it in the book!
Y’know when this happens on a day you’ve already started with a page covered in hairy paper that does have a certain feathery like quality?
Y’know when you look at the dried up copper color acrylic paint gunk that you stuck to the page and it looks back at you, demanding: OK, I just have an eye and a beak. You must make me a body with a tail and wings. Immediately!
Y’know? Y’know that feeling?
I knew you would…
That’s how this happened.

Now I’ll always think twice before throwing away the dried paint on the top of my paint bottles. Love your bird!
