birds on the rocks
birds on the picnic table
i am a little bird obsessed these days working on my pieces for the winged migration show at bookhou at the end of the month. I went down to Toronto to pick up some shadow boxes that I am going to use to display these hand stitched feathered friends. I had a little visit with arounna, john and piper. Got to see the show up at bookhou now. There are actually two shows since with the washi paper pieces. Everything looked amazing. I will show you a few pics tomorrow.
Okay I will just show you one, lil p and her adorable hair sculpture:)
Goodness those birds are amazing.

I adore each & every of the birds you've made so far. I can't pick a favorite !! Using a map for the origami box is brilliant too ! (just like you)
