Project: Make Your Own Art: Birds and Butterflies

Spring cleaning 2014 goals: use up art supplies that are sitting around and pretty up my patio.
I’ve always had an obsession with all things bird related: bird baths, bird houses, bird cages, little concrete birds, etc. It is a strange sickness for someone with a taste for modern art, so I rarely allow myself to purchase any decorative items in this genre; however, I couldn’t stop myself when I saw these little wooden birdcage cutouts at Michaels. It was a good way to use up some paint, a canvas board and a frame, and thankfully I have a screen porch that I can decorate in cutesy outdoor stuff for the moment. The butterfly was on clearance for $2, so I couldn’t pass it up either.
