In fact, these colorful bird specimens are not so much on the feathery side as they are papery, because these winged beauties are intricate paper sculptures, painstakingly pieced together by talented artist and illustrator Diana Beltran Herrera, from Bogota, Columbia

Herrera has named this beautiful biodegradable collection ‘Mathematics For Reality’, and has recreated her beloved birds in extreme detail, cutting and layering to perfection.

The artist studies birds in the full glory and flourish of life: “last week after working a bit with colibries, I started to look more around the world trying to find specific characteristics in certain birds that I found more relevant and that in a way came out of the prototype of some species”, she writes, “I will load information about variations I found that I find important. And (it) is nice to understand which characteristics allow then to interact in certain situations (food, behavior, habitat, relations).”

Prolific in her work, Diana Beltran Herrera has created literally hundreds of paper pals, ranging from Goldfinches in graceful flight, to nest building mates and caterpillar hunters!

Building new paper-craft birds, fish, animals and plant life almost daily, Herrera’s gallery grows and multiplies wildly, just like in nature itself.

]]> Here’s a super simple way to assemble a flock of featherless friends. This nearly no-mess project is easy enough to make in minutes and let kids add lots of inspired elements of their own.

You will need:

  • Pencil
  • Coloured paper clips and
  • Hole punch or pushpins
  • Scissor
  • Glue stick

Instructions:

1. For each, draw a bird figure on a piece of scrapbook paper (or download our template). Cut out this figure, trace it, and cut out the matching shape.

2. Bend a colored paper clip or two into feet and tape them to the back side of one figure. Use a glue stick to join the two matching figures, sandwiching the paper clip legs between them.

3.   Make an eye with a hole punch or pushpin and adjust the legs so that the bird can stand on its own.
