Real bird

The bird above might look real. But it’s actually made entirely out of paper! The sculpture is the work of British artist Lisa Lloyd. She uses paper to create intricate sculptures of animals.

Before starting each sculpture, Lloyd studies photos of the animal it’s based on. That helps her understand its anatomy, or physical structures. Lloyd made a rough skeleton of the bird’s shape out of paper. Then she glued on hundreds of tiny pieces of paper to give her sculpture the texture of feathers.

Lloyd says she is inspired by nature. “I just like to put a different spin on it,” she says
