The Unconventional Life

This piece was inspired by a Wanderlust class by Jamie Avery
on our new theme of
Birds.



I used a That's Crafty ATC Art Shrine
made from 3mm MDF.


I covered the outside with white gesso,
then Eco Green Crafts acrylic paint
(Mulch & Pure Gold).


Inside the background is a printed image
from Shawn Petite,
edged with Distress Ink (antique linen).


I composed my three dimensional scene,
using magazine images
& twigs gathered from the garden,
together with a found feather.


The finished piece measures approx. 11cm x 7.5cm x 4cm.


Sometimes in life
it is better to take
the road less travelled
& create your own path.

When life gives you a hard square box
instead of a round soft nest,
look for the positives
& make the most of it.
