What's with all the birds?

that is what my son keeps asking me as a lot of my art
projects this year have had birds in them. I think right
now it is a big trend in shadow boxes and altered art,
I like them so I am happy :)

This was my finished shadow box from a class I took
yesterday with the wonderful Mike & Lesley. We
had the choice of leaving our shadow box white or using
some of the new Tim Holtz tissue tape to cover it and
then inking and painting on top of that. As you can
imagine everyone in the class chose to use the tape,
it is a really cool product to use but I have not been
able to get my hands on any yet, keep hoping I will
get some soon.

The bird itself is a diecut that Mike designed and had
cut locally, so if you want one maybe contact him. He
did have some kits for sale of our project also if anyone
is interested.
