BIRDHOUSE


Woo hoo, look what I found for £1 at the car boot sale! Now I know my transatlantic visitors won't get all excited about a birdhouse because you can buy them everywhere over there. Here it's not so easy, and the ones that do exist are often fairly roughly made ones intended for the garden.

That's not what I want it for however - I've wanted to do an altered project based around a birdhouse for a while, so I was thrilled to find this. It's a very nice wood too, and don't you just LOVE the little door in the side, so I can do the interior as well!

If anyone can point me in the direction of inspirational birdhouse art I'd be very pleased as I'm not just sure quite where to start yet. Also, can you buy artificial bird's nests anywhere, or do I need to learn to make one sharpish?? How hard can it be - birds do it??

I love your comments and find them very helpful, but only have limited strength and energy so have chosen to follow just a few blogs rather than leave thank-yous for the comments I receive. Hope you understand, and I do SO appreciate your feedback.
