This year I created a collection of Midwest songbirds that were on display for the month of May at the Menomonie Public Library. After taking down the show I decided the best place to photograph the pieces were in my backyard. The project idea came to me after I decided to build my own bird feeder. It just seemed right to create sculptures of my favorite backyard visitors to accompany the large feeder. These birds were carved out of baked Polymer Clay that were then colored with various types of inks. Found natural objects were also used in the final pieces and display.
