Sculptural Birds

I'm loving these.



They have a sculptural feel.



It started with damaged vintage bird ornaments.



Instead of trying to repair them, I decided to apply layers of texture and gesso.








They now have a new look.

  19. How cool is that?! The textural look of these birds is really interesting. And I love how they stand out when placed among the dried roses.

    Hope to see you at Time Travel Thursday this week.
