In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
This past Friday my friend, Pam, came over for a craft day. As she was leaving I walked outside with her and we stood talking. I looked down and saw this wonderful piece of wood. Wood you look at this, a perfect bird shape!
I love the grungy back side too!
I so have plans to use this in a future art piece. I want to make a cast of it first as I have a couple of ideas for its use.

A perfect swans head! With a little sanding and paint I feel another theater character coming on, sort of in the fashion of the stone headed Shakespearean Raven I made last year...
I see the swan as more of a storybook type character, wings splayed, like a marionette. Now do you see why I have such a hard time getting all my projects done? There are always so many ideas cropping up from so many places.

I think it quite amazing that nature grew these shapes.
Can you also tell that I am scraping the bottom of the post barrel for subject matter? I mean really, how low can you go when you start taking photos of sticks from your yard? On that note I think I'll go and see if I can find something that wood be a bit more interesting to share with you next time. I hope that you are enjoying a wonderful day!

I enjoyed the photos and glad you went around your yard taking them.

this was plenty interesting. Living in the woods I see so many patterns in the bark of the trees.
And is that a turtle shell in the last photo? So beautiful!
Sometimes the little things in life make the most impact. I enjoyed your sharing these objects of nature. Looking forward to seeing what becomes of them in their future artistic creation. Have a lovely weekend.

No! These are not bottom of the barrel scrapings, these are a creative mind at work! I love that swan's head!
i think it is a sign of creative heart
with eyes to see beauty.
thanks for the treat!
I love that you can see things in things..you know what I mean..I have found some "birdies" too and when I show hubby - he just looks quizzically at me and sort of smiles and says.."ah huh.."
Gotta love 'em!
Who "wood" have thought? ;) I love that you find treasures like that. See, there really is art in nature.
Have a wonderful weekend,

How neat! I love finding useful art items in nature. Great eye!
I love it! THAT, is not scraping for a post, that is SEEING what is so wonderfully placed around you! That tickled me - perfect!
Your Shakespearean Raven is marvelous! Oh you are just too clever! :)
It WAS interesting, Sandy! There is so much beauty in those ordinary things!
Happy exploring and finding, my friend!
Hugs, Diane
