Library Day

Today was Volunteer Day at the Library, and I was surprised by a couple of thank you gifts that were specially made for every one of the volunteers.  There were hand painted bird houses in a multitude of designs and color selections.  The one I chose was green and violet with hand painted flowers all along the roof.  It's adorable!  In addition to that, there was a special packet of hummingbird-attracting flower seeds and a handwritten thank you card.  How nice!!

Tonight I have to finish a project I'm making for Cathy for her birthday tomorrow.  I'm pretty pleased with how it's turning out.  It's an assemblage art bird made with various metal pieces in a shadow box.  First time I've ever tried anything like this.  Doesn't sound very good - I'll have to post a photo when I finish with it.  So I'd better get to it ...

Later ... So what do you think?  Do you like it?

  3. Hi Tin Rabbit! Thank you for your comment. It's nice to hear that you like the bird. I gave it to my friend today at a party we had for her (and me as well - my birthday is Sunday) and she liked it very much. Whew! I'm getting ready to make some more. I have lots of materials ready to use in my craft room. Enjoy this beautiful spring weekend!
