Usually I make a stork standing up, as in the first pic, but was asked for something smaller as the family were travelling in a very loaded up car for the birth of their first grandchild

I came up with the idea of doing basically the same thing, as they liked the design, but having the stork sitting in a nest, to make it more manageable.

I first made it with a different head, but did not like it, so a quick bit of surgery changed it to my usual design which I like a lot better

The flower I made pink and blue, and the basket lilac, as they did not know whether it would be a boy or girl

Looks great! I am making one similiar to that this week for someone.

Love them all.

Thought I'd carry on the post with a stork and baby I made up for a client today..... (its actually an adaptation of Ken Stillman's pelican design on balloon click)

Looks great Kim, Lovely idea to put a little cap on the stork
