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!

  5. 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

  20. 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 :)
