Here's a little birdie I made for my brother who lives in Boonville, Missouri. It's tummy is a funny little oval frame that looks like metal but I think it might just be plastic looking like metal....a serendipity dollar store find. His wings are thin copper which I cut with a scissors. His head is just a paper bird's head out of a magazine. I rusted the tummy & wings with a rusting kit from Michaels. So Tim, who has his own cedar trees in abundance, cut their Christmas tree, took it in the house,and never got around to decorating it except for this bird! They had a lot of out of town commitments and decorating the tree seemed to be at the bottom of their priority list! My inspiration came from Somerset Studio Nov/Dec 2007.
