Bird Wings - Blog Posts

Been designing a posable bird wing made completely out of interlocking paper, no glue or tape! My goal is to make a bird lantern similar to my koi lantern :D

The only problem now is that my laser cutter broke due to some software update by Full Spectrum Laser and they are refusing to fix it 😭When I contacted their support, they just told me to buy a new one. As if I would ever buy another laser from such a shitty company.

Anyone has a recommendation for a better laser cutter from a reputable company?

Bird Wing/Tail Database

If you ever need references for bird wings/tails I cannot recommend this collection enough! It has images of the dorsal/ventral sides of wings from a wide variety of species.

my mood has been lifted!! :D

the ride there was rlly pretty since the sun was setting and i got to see so many cool bones, plants n taxidermy (also learning along the way lolol)

cool facts i think yall might like: moon snails have super sharp tounges + acid-like stuff that they use to cut holes in shells to eat AND they have little trapdoors they use once they retreat back into their own shell so stuff cant get in!

pangolins scales are made out of the same material as our fingernails which i find kinda weird- does that mean our nails count as scales too?? T_T
