I have no idea what species of duck or goose this is, and neither did the lady who worked in the gardens in Birr that I spent some time chatting to. But it was certainly very photogenic .
A2 base, covered with a scrap of some orangey patterned paper. The coloured card is Core'dinations, embossed and sanded for the top half, which was the Whitewash range. Printed my photo and layered it up on more of the same paper as the base. Ric-rac and Primas to give a fun feel to match the bird, and a Cuttlebug corner. Dew Drops added to corner and flowers.
Vicky Gould did some great research , so - this is a White Chinese Goose, domesticated from the Swan Goose. Thanks, Vicky.
