Birdhouse Shrine Doll... Day #2 and-one-half!


 
I decided last night (at about 10 p.m.)
to add some papier mache shingles to the roof,
giving it a bit more interest and definition.
And he has wings... of course!
We found this carton of real quail eggs
at the Philadelphia Flower Show three years ago...
they have been sitting on my work table all this time; waiting!
Some are whole, some are broken... some are missing!
"The window of the soul..."  
I cut the wooden arched window using 1/4 inch craft plywood
and inset it, after cutting the opening with my scroll saw.
I love his little vintage shoes!
As always, thanks for stopping by!   Daryle

    Hope the quail eggs don't ever hatch...imagine how confused those poor little quail will be.

  5. You always have such wonderful 'meanings' to your creations. They always have a beautiful or insightful 'meaning' to them. It is hard to put into words what I mean. Most of them are very thought provoking...meaning they touch the soul. I like the quail eggs in the birdhouse. 'The windows to the soul'...I like that~
    I am happy Miss Moses found such a wonderful home.
