Bird in the Hand Has a Home

 Wren's home is finished. I had to delay showing you because she was a special gift.

Thanks to my husband who carefully cut the branch for me without hurting the bark.

The stump part was drilled and I wood glued the Y branch in. Love the wood glue!

This will certainly be one of my favorite projects.

Wrens Nest

Thank goodness I have a book on nests and eggs...

I would have made wren a completely wrong nest...

and gotten the color of her eggs wrong too! I need to find a base for her twig now.

A Bird In The Hand...

is worth two in the bush.

 I'll make her a nest.

Copper Rustic Wren

 She's back...

 yelling as usual...

 taking over the yard...

 but always a happy sight...

the rustic wren.

Copper Wren

My girlfriend hooked me up! A metal saw, bench pin, files, sanding pads, I had never worked with this stuff before. She had sheet copper and the drill press, I sent her the shape so she could drill the holes and I cut it out. I filed, sanded and buffed. How much fun is that!

Next it needed wire and beads. I think I spent more time figuring that out. It's done though and ready to hang.
