Bird's nest part 2

The nest is finally dry, and I am ready to proceed.  However, I have decided NOT to use the bird cage.

Isn't it a woman's prerogative to change her mind?  After looking at my feeble bird nest, I chose to add it to some other recycled materials.   Before the nest was dry, I added string left over from sewing and glued it in place.

After deciding the copper plate would make a great base, I went outside and collected some of my new bamboo.  Then, remembering Chrissie used her project to add potpourri to the air, I grabbed some dried mint.  This was mint I had dried last autumn, and I have so much of it, I knew I could sacrifice this small amount I used.  As I was assembling the nest, the air smelled wonderful and oh so minty.

But I didn't stop there.  I grabbed three of those horrible plastic eggs I badmouth each year and covered them in bits of leftover vintage sheet music. 

They are too big for the actual nest I made, so I was glad I had extended the nest to include them.

For those of you who like to count rocking horses, I see five here.

This is day 12 of 22 leading up to bEARTHday.  I recycled three plastic eggs and repurposed bamboo from my back yard, along with mint I dried last year.

Thank you again for your continued support of my art.  Aren't you glad my blog seems to be fixed?  I know I am!
