A Bird Bath as Seen from My Kitchen Window


I get a lot of inspiration and ideas every time I visit Diane's blog Food, Fun and Life in the Charente. She posted a beautiful picture of birds bathing as seen from her window. I thought of carving one to enjoy even for a fleeting moment and maybe share it with you too. The birds were carved from huge carrots and the bird bath of squash and the pedestal was butternut. Enjoy!

    I love dropping by your blog because I know whatever you have posted will surprise and delight. I feel inadequate - you have made a pedestal from your butternut, I only made soup :D

    I cannot believe you have done this in vegetables, I can't find words to describe your skill or the result, it is stupendous. I am flabbergasted to say the least. Diane

    This is an amazing photo, but that you have sculpted the still life from vegetables is the mind bending. You are an artist of the first order. I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary

    Hi Arthur, did you leave this out for real birds to investigate or what did you do with it afterwards... I want to know the 'back story' - like those nature documentaries where they show you the camera mounted on the bird's head in the film of the film....

    Your posts are always something unexpected and new, I read the title on the rss feed and think what has Arthur made now? And it's never what I anticipate which makes it such a joy :)
