Finished Wall Art

I finally have a finished project in my home! Since moving into this new house (over a year ago) I have been struggling with how to decorate. After much window shopping and planning, I decided that purchased art just wasn't what I wanted. I would find a piece here and there that I liked, but nothing that really "went together" so I decided to make it myself. The first installment was the "Home for a Bird" today I am proud to post the second piece, "Song Bird" as well as the clock that inspired this art.
"Song Bird"




Here are a couple of close ups to show the techniques I used.








     
"Home for a Bird" and "Song Bird" with the clock that inspired me.









As I experienced the process of making these pieces, I created not only the art, but quite a mess as well. Because of that I leave you today with the following quote...
"It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance, and I know of no substitute for the force and beauty of its process." Henry James
