Budgie Tutorial - Create Lovely Miniature Birds

Day 47 of my 'Year in the Life of a Miniaturist' diary. And, in response to popular demand, here is how I make my cute little miniature budgies. First though, I must say a big thank you to Rio Cox from our Greytown miniature club. Rio was the person who first showed me this easy technique. So, follow along and have a go at making some miniature birds. I must apologise in advance for some of the camera work. Not as polished as I would like, so I have ordered a tripod to improve my close up work in future!! As always, if any questions, please do just ask. All the best, Jill.
