Basket bird

basket bird now on exhibition at Arnold lodge school
A mixed media piece, I added the sparkle  to inspire the children's imaginations, it looks like an illustration from a story.
 CDs and fairies will be removed as the plants settle in, when it's relocated in my garden

the original idea goes back to mother and child theme; a lot of parenting is purely functional, I use domestic furniture to represent this e.g. a chair or basket. the flowers represent new life.

I got use to driving with basket bird on the roof of the micra
