As I seem to be a little bird obsessed lately it seemed another good opportunity to decorate one of the birds I bought a while ago.
So, here is my entry, not flying around at the moment but taking a bit of a rest on her nest, well it is Spring!
While I out on Friday buying spoons for my spoon flower canvas I also bought the cup and saucer for this project and in the same shop (Dunelm Mill) I found this fab feather braid. It comes in two sorts, this brown one and a black and white speckled one, it was a bit pricy at £5.99 a meter but it was perfect for the edge of my "nest" so I had to splash out!
A few twigs from the garden scattered on the saucer with some stamped tail feather leaves!

love your birdie
When I was a birdwatcher, we used to call hard-to-identify brown birds "LBJs" - Little Brown Jobs. I thought it was just us!
Sooooooo nice to look at, thanks for making something so awewsome!

fabulous work!! love the bird!
Beautiful Birdie creation.
Absolutely fabulous
I grew up hearing the phrase "fine-feathered friend", but was never sure what it meant.....until now! It surely meant something like your wonderful bird-in-cup-and-saucer. What fun!
What a super piece, love it!
Fantastic Sue, I Love every detail! Tweet Tweet :)
what a delightful art piece, I never thought of using a cup and saucer that way, now can't wait to see your spoon canvas!
That is so creative! I love it!
Great job, it's gorgeous!
Everything you do is so unique and amazing. This is too cool! I bought a couple of birds after seeing the altered Tim Holtz ones. Where are they now? Sitting in the boxes still! I am totally inspired to get them out and alter away.
Sue, this is amazing! I love the green copper look to it. Your bird is decorated beautifully and I love the braid.

Absolutely stunning piece of art, don't know how you came up with the idea but it's a joy to look at Sue!
I absolutely love this creation Sue. It's really quirky and so clever.
I have to try and be more adventurous and not just make cards and atcs.
