It's been a busy few weeks, what with travel for work, birthday parties, and tedious illness. But this weekend, I should be able to get back to making some wee birdies (with a break for the Italy vs Scotland match of course).

I've made simple sketches, mapping colours and some blending thoughts. The drawings are the same size as I will make the initial cane, so I'll use them as a map and lay the shaped blocks on top to check sizes.

Carolina Wren and Chickadee sitting on a seed bell... trying not to freeze their little backsides off!

This noble cactus wren let me get a couple of up close shots. Really hamming it up.
