little clay birdies.....and my violet....

I have been working on those cute bird cage elements that I started a while back...if you remember.....So lastnight I worked on some of my clay birds....these were so much fun to work on....I do need your help....do you think they need to look more antique with a dark wash? or do I leave them the way they are? Each piece is unique and has it's own personality....since they are hand sculpted......and what a laugh...I just noticed that they are in my signature blue and orange....

My latest inspiration.....I wonder what these will turn out to be....

November 10th 2010 I 005


I found these amazing cute little bird cages and was immediately inspired by them...today I am working on some of my bird cages and will show you what I come up with once I am happy with the results....I have so many ideas for these....

What do you think I will make with these?

I also made these yummy baked eggs...they were so good....I highly recommend this as a nice late breakfast or a nice quick lunch....

I took two baking dishes...buttered the dishes...added two eggs in each dish...
some salt and pepper....cut cherry tomatoes....cheddar cheese, a little milk, salt and pepper and a drizzle of taco sauce on mine.....then some chopped scallions over the eggs and everything....served it with some yummy bread and it was delish!
