Two new creations have emerged since my last post, and while I don’t always have my eyes glued to ground when I’m out walking, I see so much potential in the shape and form of natural debris!
I keep the twigs, bark and chips in their natural form as much as possible. I gently scrub them, lightly sand them (where possible) and finish with a light sealer, particularly on the more fragile pieces after constructing the bird shapes with wood glue.
