Description: The Mocking Jay: My sculpture is inspired by the Hunger Games. It's supposed to be a "Mockingjay" carrying the Earth. This fits the theme of Florida Flying into the Future because The Hunger Games is a dystopian book about war, murder, etc. Based on how our country and state is right now, I see something like that happening. For the bird I used straws, yarn, and pieces of drink carrier. The Earth is made of an old bouncy ball, papier mache and tissue paper. I used a box, construction paper and an old hanger as a kind of base.
