There's a bumper crop of mockingbirds this summer, they've almost taken over the neighborhood. I love to watch them, there's a lot of personality in that little bird. I've seen mockingbirds successfully take on crows two to three times their size in the air to defend the nest. Incredibly agile fliers when the mood hits, and they don't take any mess, let me tell you. Anyway, this is a tail feather from the mockingbird. A very chic uniform, mostly grey with black and white accents.
Materials: found feather, found plastic, freshwater pearl, acrylic cord, brass wire.

  1. Wow--this one has such a delicate beauty. Love the silvery, shades-of-gray color scheme, with just a hint of rose.
