Saw these on io9! Had to come over and comment personally! These are fantastic, and this one is my personal favorite! But hey, I'm still looking through your gallery, so who knows! ;D

Great job, man!

This is a really interesting use of materials, and it turned out fantastically. I love the use of the cd coating to create the texture and coloring of the wings, and how you still can tell it's a cd, but that adds to the piece.

That's amazing. I always look at how pretty the backs of wasted cds are, and never know how to deal with them. I'm glad someone out there is reusing properly
