My challenge this week on our blog
Rosie and Linda's Big Art Adventure is to make a birdhouse. It can be flat or 3D...we like lots of variety! I made one from a plain little box 3" tall (thank you Chriss!) I cut into the sides of the lid, in the middle, and bent it to make the roof...easy!! I found the little 1" nest in a craft shop for 30p and I made the eggs myself. From my craft room window I can see the blue tits and coal tits visiting our nesting box on the garage wall. I hope we get permanent residents by Easter - I'll be able to keep watch on their progress.
My second example is VERY lime I'm afraid - but it is my current favourite colour! My DH cut the shape out of wood for me - I'm thinking of asking for some smaller ones now. (Wonder what his answer will be?) Most of the images I have used for these projects are from
Vintage Moth - Abbie kindly gives away her pictures for free (and they are lovely).
I love the song 'Make a little birdhouse in your soul' and whilst searching for it on YouTube I found this very funny version with illustrations. The sound quality isn't good but its still worth watching.
Have fun!

Absolutly stunning, and WOW, the new blog look is great, its wonderful. I LOVE VISITING YOUR BLOG YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION, Jaqi x
Positively stunning! Gorgeous! :-)
I love it- the blue, and the lime green. I like the brightness of it. Have you ever done a how-to with your collages? Maybe show us the process of the different stages? I'd love to see how you end up with these fabulous pieces of art! Just a thought...

Like I said on ABAA, I just love your birdhouse box Linda, and I really love the one your hubby cut from wood for you :) Great inspiration!
Fantastic work Linda, hard to choose a fav, love them both:)
Hi Linda,
Both houses are adorable and you have planted a couple of seeds of inspiration with their diminutive size :) Be sure to share you pieces with Abbie she loves to see what we create with her clip art!!

They are both wonderful, but I especially like the blue one. I just love the way you paste layers together, something which doesn't seem to come naturally to me, but the effects you achieve are so good!!
Gorgeous !!!!

I agree with Jaqi that you are such an inspiration. Love your birdhouse (and enlarged every photo so I could see all the details).
The images from Vintage Moth are lovely. And how clever of you to make the eggs!
Lime is one of my favorite colors too!
