The beautiful paper birds of Diana Beltran Herrera
Birds of a (Paper) Feather
This week, we stumbled upon some beautiful creatures; Diana Beltran Herrera's paper birds. We ooo-ed, aww-ed, coo-ed, and chuckled as we scrolled through years worth of her intricate creations. Colombian-born, and currently based in Bristol, Diana's attention to detail is outstanding. Her birds have such great personalities. From the Urraca Yucateca (Yucatan Jay) pictured above to the (very) small sampling that follow on below, each bird is, and has, a distinct character, poise, and grace. Even the ones that look slightly disheveled have a certain charming appeal to them. From the coloring of each feather, to the shape of each bird's claws and wings, frozen mid-flight, to . . . Wow.
We're looking forward to seeing the next brood that Diana brings to life!
