Spring Making

Nature inspires art...I grew poppy flowers last year and became enchanted with the "Pod" shape.

So I decided to give them a try in metal.

Big rusty orb...each disk is about 4" across.

Some comical birds happen....kind of a tall pelican?

Others are elegant, cranes.

And some small cuties.

The Biggest Compliment!!!

Giant "Crane"

One of the coolest compliments I have gotten recently is from a Lady that was looking at my Art at the Spring Garden Sale in Corvallis, She asked if I was a "Birder" or bird watcher, I said "not really" although I do watch birds all the time and love to spot them around here, But I have never kept a bird list. People in my family are always telling each other "I seen this bird or that bird".

Peacock

She went on to say the reason she asked if I was a "birder" is that my bird sculptures had such a Bird kind of attitude to them although not realistic, very birdish. That was a cool thing for someone to notice!

Oh by the way Me and Hubby seen a pair of Bald Eagles the day we planted the garden!!Maybe I will try my hand at an Eagle???
