Moa Transport! When you have to travel over rough terrain, - harness the wild! Look to the future, riding on what was good from the past as you venture forth with an exploring heart!
The idea for this one came from a poster put out for the theme of this years Victorian Week in November, here in Oamaru NZ. The theme is Transport! I had these Moa feathers.....
The basis of these figures are all cloth, with a wire armature in the feet only. The beak and eyes are needle sculpted and painted, and the head is needle felted. The 'feathers' are fur fabric in just the right colour and texture, cut in strips to mold the body.
The helmet took the longest to make. It is made up of thirteen fiddly pieces! All made from Quilters muslin and painted. Loved the process of working it all out!
