Inspired

These little unassuming birds inspire me.  Last year I had made the necklace in the second photo.  Silver and my handcrafted glass bead dangles from a

copper focal piece that contains a resin filled bezel with a photo of this 

chickadee.  The painting was just completed yesterday.  I think it translated well in both mediums.  Simple enough to be reduced to a tiny size for the jewellery piece and fun to paint the 6" x 6" canvas of this chickadee on a snowy branch.
