Yep it's addicting. All of it is. From pouring the lead to painting them to tying them up. I get hooked on it easily so I have to pace myself doing all of it. It's just a huge satisfaction to me to take some random stuff like hooks, lead and feathers and turn it into something not only beautiful but functional and useful to boot. It's hard to explain the buzz you get from it to someone who doesn't understand. It's even harder to explain the buzz you get when you feel the thump on one of your creations.
