L'oiseau

L'oiseau

An assemblage done in a vintage desk drawer (a lucky e-Bay purchase); old sheet music, pictures of eggs, ceramic and plastic eggs, the upper half of a metal clarinet, the inner workings of a music box, ceramic hands, a bottle cap with a picture of a humming bird, a tiny French santon of a chicken, a small nest, birds - cast iron ,brass, resin, pewter and ceramic, a cigarette card, feathers, ribbon and a variety of wooden type spelling out Oiseau.

This was one of those pieces that sat around for months while more and more bits and bobs were collected and piled in the drawer. Then one day I sat down and Viola! there it was. And here it is ready for Open Studios.
