It's been a crazy busy Spring. So much so that a May blog simply didn't happen. I thought about it. Did a little research on bird nests, and even thought I had saved some notes. But no. Nothing in my stash of draft blogs appears to be about bird nests. So in the hopes of getting this blog out before it snows (somewhere), I wanted to at least post some pictures of the needle felted nests I made.
Bird nests come in all sizes. From the tiniest Hummingbird ones to the huge enormous ones of eagles. Mine come in three sizes, all of them much larger than a Hummer's nest and way smaller than an eagle. Here's the first, the smallest one:
Like many bird nests, it contains a variety of feathers, flower parts, and colors. Unlike most, it is primarily made of wool that I needle felted lightly and attached to driftwood. The colorful yellow eggs are a combo of needle and wet felting.
A medium size nest is very similar with different colored eggs:
The largest nest I made is a fraction of the size of a eagle nest. It's even smaller than the nest outside my crafting casita. Still, it has everything a modern bird would need. Here it is:
After I finished this one, I decided to up my photos by making a woodsy backdrop for the nesting pictures. I hope you like them.
