And I made a decision t make some autumnal birds. One out of Crimson Ted’s craft and one out of mine. I chosen Crimson Ted’s prints that labored collectively nicely (greens, blacks and greys) and picked an orange set of mine to characterize autumn. I used all items of string from reward baggage & pepples/ forked sticks for toes and marionette handles. (I feel the images communicate for themselves)
