I can paint birds... cool.

I painted these birds for a couple's Ceramic Wedding Guest Book (you can see on my website soon). I am not generally that sort of artist, but it seems that I managed a nice looking pair of Cardinals. The white dots are reflections from the flash on the glaze.


My maternal grandmother passed away a couple years ago. She called me her "Bunny" I think that is because I had rather large front teeth for a child (but my face has grown to match them since!

Anyhow, although I did not know her well (or many of my relatives very well for that matter), I always associated birds with her because she loved them and because she could do any bird call.

My Man* and I always sing songs together, specifically "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" by BJ Thomas and I came across a one drawer, wind up jewelry box/bird cage that my mom passed along to me from my Grandmother. It made me teary when I realized it played that song.

Feeling nostalgic.
