Adding Fabric Paint to Chicks

Getting texture on the chicks will be done with fabric paint. By making drag-and-pull strokes of paint with the tip of the paint bottle, the chicks will have delicate feathers and eyes. The local store has the Scribbler brand. Notice the narrow-pointed tip that can deposit a simple, raised line of paint onto the surface of the gourd.

The beak, feet, and wattle will be made from orange colored card stock and glued into place.
