Hello! 👋

It's been a few weeks, so we wanted to return with some bird updates! We are still working on finalizing the process for making the birds! This has involved many hours of sweating over the laser cutter. We are extremely close though, so we wanted to show some photographs! Please note that these are still very much a work in progress. Different birds here are from different experimental techniques!

We've had incredible success with getting the colors to print accurately, and we were able to sand the wood to get a really nice, smooth finish (best seen in the hatching rainbow bird)! The main issues we are trying to sort out are scorch marks on the birds and how best to apply the protective coating. There is a possibility that it will be unavoidable for the white/lighter colored birds to have a tiny bit of discoloration on the edges due to the nature of the laser cutter (i.e. burning wood), but we have refined and perfected the process a LOT since we started!

We are also experimenting with the possibility of being able to make the stud earrings on our machine to our original size specifications!! They are still a little experimental but those are the tiny birds in the photograph. We will be replying to all emails about the earrings once we figure out this process more!

Thank you all so much for your patience. We hope seeing these progress photos is exciting for you! Hopefully our next update will be when production on all of the birds has officially started. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
