Quirky Birdhouses Post Card Swap - Postmark by May 11th

Example by LaDonna

(I hope pictures of examples have been restored?)

'Tis the time of nest-building and birdsong.  Bird calendars often feature beautifully decorated bird houses, but for this swap we will be creating some really unusual and perhaps somewhat humorous accommodations to attract the most adventurous feathered creatures.

Example by LaDonna

I can imagine a CandyLand version.  A junk-yard or found objects creation.  Maybe a haunted house birdie abode.  Condo avian towers.  A flower shop bird house.  A teepee? silo? diner? barn... garden shed bird house?  A bake shop bird house.  An outhouse bird house?  Or a more elegant Swiss chalet...  There are so many possibilities you could explore to come up with something out-of-the-ordinary.

Example by LaDonna

Create four unique birdhouses. Fill most of your post card space using your choice of media/ techniques.

I'm hoping to see some hand-sketched, hand-painted, hand-decorated abodes for those darling creatures that bring color and music to our Springtime skies and lawns.

It's okay to include a bird or birds, too, if you want to.)
