This mum kanga and her baby are part of a series of Aussie animals that I'm putting together for Aspects Gallery in Kings Park.
DVD shards (over 40 DVDs used)
Wire mesh frame
Hot glue
Black paint
1 week work time
I use kitchen scissors to cut the shapes I need out of the CDs, then arrange each shard by colour and size. I then hot glue those shards one-by-one to a wire mesh frame to create a natural fur pattern. They usually take a week to make, maybe longer depending on how motivated I am to get them done!
