How can I have a Happy Magpie website without having, well, a magpie?

It's not as easy as I thought. There were no designs out there that immediately seemed to fit, so I thought I'll just make one! Little did I know....

I was overly ecstatic to have created the above bird, using the principles in Dr. Lang's Origami Design Secrets. Then I flipped through the book and realised that I had just reinvented his 'Songbird' diagrammed in the book. I probably had looked at the diagrams before and then forgotten them...

In order to distance myself from that, I decided to focus on the wing patterns. Magpies are not solid black; some have a white breast and white stripe along the wing. Here are more attempts. The first one is modified from a different songbird design out of ODS. The white stripe is not far enough down on the wing, however.

The others technically have the right colors in the right area. They just aren't pretty.

Still a work in progress. Anybody have any suggestions?
