bird
I did some sketching of long-legged birds
and made this bird.
My first time working with wire and I was pretty frustrated Saturday night trying to bend it the way I wanted it to go and make the bird balance, but Sunday morning brought fresh energy and here she is.
And with an egg in her nest. I know, it's a chicken egg - don't tell her.
She's marvelous!

This is WONDERFUL! I mean, really, really wonderful.
I am amazed at how you just imagine these creatures and create them with fabric, buttons, and a few little extras.

She is awesome! Maybe she needs one of those fabric scrap ball things, but shaped like an egg?

I cannot tell you how unfair it is that God endowed some with this gift of drawing and others ... er ... not so much.
How fabulous and artsy is this?

She is truly a work of art! So graceful and so clumsy at the same time. She sure has a lot of personality!
