Do you remember this drawer I bought last summer for a dollar?
And this watercolor picture that I found in an old scrapbook?
And this cute little bird I found while junkin'?
Well, I put them all together, with some other odds and ends I had and made this.

(click on the pictures to enlarge) My daughter gave me this nest on the branches last year for Christmas and I found the vintage plastic birds in a bag of other junk at a flea market.
This post was a candle holder, so I took the rusty tin candle cup off the top and glued the bird on.
Some old buttons, jute, and white peacock feathers I got from a friend's yard, that had several white peacocks. It's hard to see but the dark colored button is metal and has a crane on it.
I tried hanging it but I liked it best on my mantle.
I've never tried anything quite like this before. I'm quite happy with the results and I guess that's all that matters since I made it for myself. I got ideas from all over blogland and just put them together.

OH my Goodness!!!! How awesome can this be? What a fabulous work of art you made. What a great, vivid imagination and artistic skills. I LOVE the whole concept.
My S n T is shared. If you haven't dropped by, I sure hope you can stop and say "Howdy Do!".
Happy Weekend to you and yours.
Yikes--I wish you would dump the snowman cursor thingy--got to look towards Spring--how bout a bunny. I am handicapped when using these cursors--I have a really hard time using them!! Hey, I love the fern in the window thing above your mantel--that is really wonderful. Was wondering if those were real ferns? Also, Interesting box you made--I love all of the birds!
WOW and WOW! You are a talented collage artist. The watercolor painting was so pretty and everthing came together just right! Jennifer
Very creative! I would never have thought of that!
I got bounced today, somehow I didn't quite fit into the guidelines. That's okay, my post stands as is.

Hi Jean,
That looks great! It works wonderfully with your window of ferns on the wall.
That whole corner looks like it was a creative endeavor with the faux fireplace, etc. You are so talented!
Very clever, great job.
