BirdHouse


While attending the Wichita Earth fest and giving a showing of my creations I was approached by the Sedgwick County Animal Response Team, they go in after natural disasters and help displaced pets. They were looking for artists to decorate birdhouses for an auction to benefit their organization. I said I'd make one for them from scratch, they were interested and excited. I got the drawer from Habitat for Humanity cut it down, made it where the bottom would open for cleaning, extended the knob for a perch, used a salvaged plant hanger to suspend it , and coated it in vegetable oil and bees wax.

I was up against a deadline so I didn't get any other pictures.
