Sneak Peek

I really am terrible at creating something when I have to. I've been struggling to come up with something for the Habitat for Humanity auction on June 2nd.... until today. I finally finished the design work for the bird house. I'm making mine from glass, but I needed the artwork to sandwich between the panes.
Here's a screen shot of what I've done.








This next one is in poor lighting, but you it's just a sneak peek anyway. Because my glass was too thin to cut the hole for bird house , I had to come up with something else. I chose a pocket watch. I stuffed it with moss for a nest, and a teensy tiny mushroom bird that my mom sent me. The spoon that's all bent up in an antique silver spoon that I got at the antique shop a few weeks ago. It's the perch.

Now I just need to get a wood base and some votives to go inside, so when it's soldered up it will be a sweet glow in the highest bidder's home.
