I sent these castles in the mail last week. I tell you they are so fun to build. I used black gesso on the envelope first and then took the collage papers, scissors and pens to the couch. Yep, art-on-the-couch. I managed to list my latest originals on etsy just now. Check it out and help your self. Thanks.
Lady Cardinal is definitely now setting the eggs. Today is day 2 and she only laid 3 eggs. Had to get this shot before leaving this morning because the flower was blooming. She is watching me. OK, no more bird pictures until the hatch. Promise.

Can I live in one of your castles? They are delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh! The color of a cardinal's beak. If only I could reproduce that in paint.
OK. I'm waiting and also expecting. I'm patient.
ReplyDeleteMeantime, just know I love Rose of Sharon too!!!
You have a good week. Pat
Fun mail...and more party hats! Is the male cardinal around? My two birds were scared off by a snake on the front porch and now they are building a new nest on my back porch. It's a mud and twig nest. I had to chase away two purple finches from it today.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your bird story and can't wait to see the babies.
Love the mail castles...do you mean they are envelopes decorated?...xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun. I just love mail art. I need to get back to doing it again.
