Check out my book published by Dover:
Fantastic Press-Out Flying Birds
By Richard Merrill
My Dover book
The book contains 24 different North American birds with information on each, pictured in their environment, and ready to press out, fold (add a penny or dime for a weight) and fly. Look at the top banner to see what they look like.
For reasons of economy, Dover only provided one cut-out die, so I had to design all the birds in one shape. If they were folded paper, they would be too small or the pages too big, so I went with 110# card stock for the pages and birds that are in the general area of life-size. I hope it's a small drawback.
My Kites
My traditional kites will soon be shown on my wife's web site, Weaving a Life
They're birds, butterflies and dragonflies. They're meant for show, but designed to fly. They're traditional because they're made with bamboo and Japanese washi paper.
