Beautiful paper birds

A Colombian artist made a collection of beautifully made paper birds.

To make a bird with paper, first Diana Beltran Herrera - a designer and illustrator - created the basic frame by pasting layers of rough paper, then she used glue to mount small details like feathers, wings, tail . meticulously and elaborately.

Particularly, bird's legs are braided with steel fibers to create strength to help birds stand with two legs. The color of the bird carefully painted by Diana makes their coat color more vivid and lifelike.

To complete such a bird, Diana had to spend 5 days to 2 weeks depending on the size and complexity of each model.

Reportedly, Diana Herrera graduated with a degree in Industrial Design at Jorge Tadeo Lozano University in Bogota, Colombia. She gained her first working experience in Finland under the guidance and teaching of Danish artist Hanni Bjartalid.
