Crochet pattern life-size eagle (49 pages)

This is the pattern for my life-size eagle. The eagle is crochet, the feathers are handmade. On 49 pages with many pictures I will show you how to do this amazing eagle.

This pattern is not for bloody beginners, because a lot is also worked after feeling, and I cannot do for all accurate information (e.g., accurate feather sizes, bending of the wires etc) Further must be sometimes worked ¨blind ¨. However, I will come on everything more exactly in the respective sections. For some "works"it will be better, if you are two persons, because, e.g., sewing of the muscles is quite difficult
