Glitter birds

As usual, click on the underlined words to see what I’m blathering about.

  1. I can’t decide whether glitter bird magnets are awesome or not my style.
  2. Bead artist Jan Huling has fantastic birds and a composition called “Forgiven” made out of found art and beads. The kewpie beadwork is amazing, but a wee bit creepy.
  3. The daily painters daubed a bunch of cardinals. The Daily Painters gallery bills itself as the first and largest gallery of daily painting artists. The ravens selection is lovely — especially the one of 3 ravens.
  4. Birdchick’s blog always has the best pictures of birds. This one is of a nuthatch.
  5. One of the most evocative names for a philanthropic wine brand? Burning Hawk. eep.
  6. Eskimimi Knits has a bluetit intarsia pattern and a good story. The pattern almost makes me want to figure out how to do intarsia. Almost. Since I probably don’t have time to spend learning intarsia, I’m beginning to think I could try duplicate stitch instead. Or maybe see if I could do a little bit of cross-stitch for Christmas ornaments.

My brain is lately for the birds. Hope you’ve enjoyed the meander inspired by glitter birds.
