Spring

To Life, To Love, To Spring..... Gwen Suesse

My March BJP was a lot of fun to make. The ornament is covered with twigs and leaf buds, looks just like a tree at work.
Was thrilled when 3 birds dropped in to help celebrate the first day of Spring.



A close up of the birds...



Bird pattern is from BeeJang bead_tutorial@livejournal Took me a while to figure out the directions, it was well worth the time, they are adorable.

This is amazing! I love the whole spring feel to it. You put so much time into this creation and it looks just like twigs and little birds. You photographed it perfectly next to a new tree bud.

I'm absolutely in love with your March project! You've represented my favorite subjects - trees, leaves, and birds - and you done it in such an appealing way! The birds are the perfect touch for this piece, I can almost hear them chirping. Wonderful!

Your piece looks so lovely hanging from the branch, and the birds are adorable! Very nature inspired, and I dont think I could ever get tired of looking at it.
