Nest Feathers and Twine - Formally Artist's Block Studio

The things that make a house a home and the stuff that holds is all together.

Years ago I started this blog with a mindset and goals that I have found have changed direction over time. I am excited to say that this blog has a new name.....Nest Feathers and Twine. I hope you come by and visit often. Feel free to get comfortable and kick off your shoes and join me on this journey of metamorphosis.

is it done yet........?

i will have to look at it in the morning.....later in the morning....

working toward the february challenge for my yahoo group......working outside your comfort zone. for me that would be grunge. is this grungy enought to be considered grunge? i don't know. working with red is also a challenge for me. the january challenge for my yahoo group was working with colors you don't like or normally work with. i have never been a huge fan of red....don't know why, can not come up with a good reason. i have always opted for pinks when celebrating valentines, making the excuse that there was no place for the color red in the color scheme of my home.....i am now finding red is fitting in just fine. Posted by Picasa

a closer view

it is 2 am, my brain function is on the 'barely there' setting right now......after looking at this photo i can see i need to do some adjusting and fluffing.......tomorrow........i am off to bed!

this swag was inspired by becky and denise. i bought a 'wish' christmas swag from them at the saturday monday sale. i loved that swag so much, and this hall tree looked naked without one there so i just had to make one...........hmmmmm now should i make one for spring....summer........we will have to see what time brings.
