Three Muses Challenge - Odd Birds

Enlarge for more detail.
My Odd Bird is made from a Googled peacock, head and hands from a Terri Kahrs freebie (thanks Terri) body by me and background (altered) by Lauren Bavin.  Words by Carly Simon from her great song "You're So Vain".

  15. Your peacock odd bird reminds me of a peacock I know, though I'm pretty sure he would never recognize himself in all his glory! Your wicked sense of humour cracks me up and deserves a Standing O from me.
