I see my friend Jan
has featured my nests on her blog,
so here is a bit more about me and my art.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thought maybe if you were new here you might like
to know something about the artist
who creates for her store, and this blog.
That's me! =0))
I love to find treasures to create my art.
All my nests are made from flora I find on my morning walks,
and a few other fun finds to add to them.
I make my own bird nests, and am always looking for new
and unique homes for them
You know those birds will build a nest about anywhere,
Like.....
Old Light fixtures.....
(This is one of those old fixtures that hung upside down.
Makes a beautiful home)
simple little silver coasters, painted black.
(sold)
jewelry box
(my sweet Granddaughter Isabel)
(sold. box not granddaughter) =)

I make these little nests all the time.
This one has "Love, Joy, Hope, and Blessings" on the petals.
(flower nest tutorial on side bar)
(both sold)
This is a tiny cloche on a glass base.
Only4" high.
And nest is less than 2".
(This one is sold, but I have 'fixin's for 3 more)
How about a collage in pretty blue frame?
(sold)
More fixin's avaiblable
I'm braggin' on my students who
made some cute nests in a class I taught.
It was our first nest class at the store.
There will be more!
Old Trowel. (sorry for sideways pic)
and a partly burned out candle.
Talk about creative!!
A little framed nest, and
nest in a baby shoe.
And these last 3 are my all time favorites!!!
I LOVE this one!
I really had fun with these two and hope to do more.
The fun part is, that even though you are using the same
elements in a lot of these, they are all uniquely different!
And here is an old coffee grinder with no drawer.
A perfect place for a duplex!
There are tutorials on my side bar for
some of the nests and other treasures I make.
The ideas for homes are endless.
Please show me if you make any,
so I can brag about you too! =)
I want to thank Jan for featuring my nests,
and for hosting the bragfest each week!!
Please go visit and see all the other creative treasures.
Blessings

Isabel is so sweet! I would have a really hard time picking a favorite. These are just fabulous. You have a gift for making nests. I love the boxes, cloche, spoons and especially the coffee grinder! Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing and congrats on your feature.

I always love your bird's nests Barb. I gave Mom her Bird's Nest Spoon easel yesterday and she loved it. It was even more special when I told her you made it for her! She had a very happy 83rd birthday!
Blessings for you my friend, xo, Karen
Barbara Jean - you are still creating such works of beauty - everything you touch turns into an amazing piece of art. This is why I admire you so much - you dont even have to think about it - you just have the touch!

Although difficult to choose, I think that your favorite is my favorite also. It's beautiful!
Stunning art...just beautiful!
You really have any eye for unique nesting spaces. They are all so charming. I really like the first one.
OH I LOVE these! Every one DOES have it's own personality! My favorite is the whimsical little coin purse! Thanks so much for sharing...I am inspired! Congrats on your feature, too!
