2 bags of generic marshmallows
2 stick of butter
10 lbs of fondant
1 lb of gum paste
4 wooden dowels 1/4" diameter

~500 individual feathers
Construction time: 4 weeks

OMG the beak


That is all.

He was still decapitated, with his head in a bowl? ;-)

[alysten.livejournal.com]

They look like little rapiers. ;-)

[aryll.livejournal.com]

That's amazing.

[caitlindancer.livejournal.com]

Awesome job!

Gadzooks.

D00d! Ur swan's eyein' the royalty!

And if "eyein' the royalty" isn't a euphemism for something, it ought to be.

Also, Bubba =/= "under the radar". I'm just sayin'.

He looks great!

[lissa510.livejournal.com]

cool!

[collin-m.livejournal.com]

He looks great. Is it just me or does it look like he's wearing sunglasses in that second pic?

[alysten.livejournal.com]

I thought it was more like a bandit mask.

[alysten.livejournal.com]

Dare you to find the yamaka....

[alysten.livejournal.com]

I might need more practice with the whole radar thing...

[alysten.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You guys going to make it to Yule?

[katnboots.livejournal.com]

He is so splendidly and formally dressed now -- to seek the yamaka or the duct-tape hoodie would be an invasion of his privacy. =)

HAH!

[alysten.livejournal.com]

And would quite possibly require yet another decapitation.

This up here's the radar. [gestures up above head]

Now, try to fly [gestrures a few feet lower] UNDER it. Down here, maybe. If you keep pulling back on the stick, the plane goes /up/.

He's sporting the Tom Cruise wrap-a-round Ray Ban look from "Risky Business"

All the cool kids will want them...

Dunno about Gracie, but I will still be recovering from surgery #3 at that point. I am highly disappointed that I will not get to meet Bubba in person.

[lumineaux.livejournal.com]

Bubba looks awesome! Nice work.

[suba-al-hadid.livejournal.com]

Much impressed!!

[alysten.livejournal.com]

Thanks again for the help on the beak marks.

Well the good news is Bubba is preserved sugar, and cannot be eaten. So there is a chance you will get to see him live. He's got a fun texture.

Suck on the surgery. Hopefully the recovery will be short and uneventful.
