I finished up a group of assemblage birds yesterday. I am keeping a few aside as Christmas presents, but put the rest on ebay. You can place a bid here if you are interested. It is always fun to watch the ones that seem to be more popular. My favorite is the bird with the butterfly. I am almost tempted to keep that one for myself. The "good egg" is the first one that has a bid, though. I guess people like certain ones for their own reasons. I have found that at my shows as well. My artwork will appeal to someone because it sparks a memory, or a color scheme, or a certain saying on a piece. Anyway...here's a few pictures of my latest birds.
Hello- I have been working on a new assemblage piece today. I am in the process of putting it all together, step by step. I think I have most of the designing taken care of. The piece is centered around 3 vintage cabinet cards with photos of sweet girls. It has a 3 dimensional shadow box concept with glass in the front. Each box has a nest with an alabaster egg in it sitting in front of the girls. I attached the following quote by Langston Hughes to the piece...
"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly"
Isn' t that wonderful? I love the images it brings to mind, all wrapped up in a life lesson.
Hope you like this piece, the pics are just bits and parts of it. I will probably put it on my website when I have it completed.

I found this cool birds nest yesterday and had to share a picture of it. I love the fact that it is made with lots of beautiful little feathers. We pulled this nest out of a dryer vent. The dryer has not been used for at least a year and the nest had been abandoned long ago. I need to decontaminate it, try to clean it up as best as possible and keep it. I think it is just beautiful and fascinating to look at.
Click on the picture to enlarge it. You will see the beautiful colors in the feathers.
