You could start a new trend there.

Well this morning I am all scrubbed ready to go and teach a class (only the 2nd time I have taught) feeling rather proud, hair behaving beautifully, make up looking good, so there I am over the waste bin blowing husks off and I blew too hard!!!! My lovely pink shiny lip gloss covered in husks, not a look I was going after at all. Not that I use lip gloss you understand ,but know exactly how you feel about getting seed husks all over your lips.

How come, then, I get seed husks stuck to my eyelids, not my lips ...... must be all in the technique.

I always seem to get it the wrong way round too (don't wear make up!) but tidy the aviary out and then just before I go blow husks all over the place.. Doh! By the way well done with your class! You must have done well if you are going back for more! Good work

Thank you, the ladies seem to be doing ok and like me so I am getting there. It is hard trying to take over a class that a professional teacher has been doing for 20 years or more and I have actually only been doing this craft for 5 years, but as my daughter said to me "a teacher is only someone who knows more than you do about a subject".
I think my birds are out just to make a mess at the moment, I left them again this morning and there is seed and feathers everywhere!

I am teaching parchment craft, here are a few of my pictures, the paper is like greaseproof paper and you gently stretch it to make it 3d and turn white. You make holes with tools the size of sewing needles and then cut them in a pattern.

To get rid of husks I do not blow them - that always ends up with a coughing fit! I tilt the pot that they are in to one side and tap lightly, all husks come to the top edge then I flick them into the bin. Having done this for almost 6 years now, I have a great technique

There we are, a solution to 'blowing husks' that's why I got a hand vac, I got tired of husk on my eye lids, lips and elsewhere Marianne seems to have it sorted and as she has 9 budgies suesbird those examples of your work are beautiful

I usually do pretty well getting rid of husks; it is when the wind changes direction mid-blow that I end up with a face full.

I've got a huge sack made of a transparent yet dense enough fabric that covers the cage half way. Lets light pass thru it easily, you can see thru it easily as well, and both the huskand the feather problem ...also the vegetable chewings, are completly resolved. And it'so no danger to them, they can't unweave it. I'll post some pics after a cleanup...
