Tiny Bird Nests... Spring is in the air!

Spring must be right around the corner.  My desk is covered in tiny little bird nests.
Pearly eggs of all colors, and wiry nests in silver, copper and rust are "spring"ing up everywhere,
all getting ready to go in tiny little shadowboxes:

Soon I'll add copper to these and solder them into necklace pendants.  I'm preparing for a couple of Spring boutiques, and thought these would be a nice offering for the new season just around the corner.

  6. The little shadow boxes are wonderful! I make the wire nests myself but never thought to add them to something. Mine usually just get a pinback or neck chain. Thank you for some new inspiration!

    Your blog is great...sure wish I could come to your Collage College. It looks like great fun!
