Entity Inception Date 2009 July
20 Blue Macaw
Blue Macaw is actually grey, but I have yet to find a marble pebble that's blue. So a little imagination is required, that's all.
Having said that some of the pictures do look a little 'blueish'.
Something in me says it's 'sacrilegious' but another side of me argues that many of the ancient sculptures were almost always painted (the paint having long since worn or weathered away], so modifying the stone is not unheard of.
The 'other side ' of me has won, so upon completion I will immerse Blue Macaw in a bath of blue vegetable dye. Marble is porous to varying degrees, so a dye should work - I hope.
