Small Bird Collages

July 9, 2009

I couldn't resist make two of these little bird assemblages for my shop.  They are just so satisfying to make.  I love tiny things.

The chickens have been pretty cool.  They seem to really love each other. They snuggle up together on their roost at night and making little cooing sounds.  And during the day they walk around their coop scratching at the ground and hanging out.  It takes them a long time to eat a piece of toast -  not at all like a dog that gobbles it all up in one bite. This is more like a slow peck peck pecking.  And they aren't the brightest bulbs around.  Again, not like a trusty dog. But they are interesting and very beautiful to watch. 

We have been enjoying the few bits of sunshine out on the patio drawing.  Stella enjoys rubbing flowers onto paper, especially spent day lillies. They make a nice orange juicy pigment that she is fond of.
