What a Clever Bird!

 

Spotted in the corner of the garage on a shelf is this lovely little bird's nest.

 

On closer inspection there are just 2 black and white speckled eggs lying on the soft dry grass in the                                                                         bottom of the nest.

 

Rust.

 On a recent trip to the country I took a walk around an abandoned property and found all sorts of items rusting away in the grass and around the old house. Inspiration for future art perhaps.

 

More Plant Experiments.

I noticed buttercups flowering outside the back fence of a neighbour's property, so I used some of those leaves, plus a print from a buttercup flower. It was too difficult to get a good print from the fragile petals of the actual flower, so I used my hand carved stamps for the other flowers. Stamps were also used for the various insects. I noticed yesterday that the neighbour had unfortunately poisoned the buttercups, so no more prints from them!
