NESTING

dc133: nest

I'm showing you two bird nests that I've done in my artwork in the past. I am working on a little book as we speak but it is drying so I'll wait until tomorrow to take a photograph to show you. Meanwhile, here is one nest project:
It's an a.t.c. that I made for a trade. The nest is of spanish moss and feathers from my budgie bird and contains one small egg. Here's the batch of a.t.c.s being painted for the trade I was in: And here is a flat paper artdoll that I traded. I used to own with my daughter, for two years, a yahoo group where we traded artdolls each month. This doll has a bird cage for a skirt and a resident has come to live in it!!!
So there are two nests I've done. For more nests see Ariane's spot. Thank you for coming by to visit today. I hope to see you again tomorrow. Bye for now, hugs, Norma, x

  2. As Stefanie, I could go deep inside an interpretation,

  3. This is so creative Norma. How did you paint all the birds to look exactly alike? Art trades are such a fun thing to do and a great way to share and get your hands on some great new art.

    It's been so long since I've visited so I'm off to look at your other posts. xo

  11. Hi Norma, I like to see the work step by step. because it's like watching the artist at work. and learn a lot. Each artist has their own ways to reach the end result, that is so interesting to watch, for me as the finished work
