I work in a tiny shed in the hills surrounded by birds. I watch them fly, see them stop nearby and hear them singing their songs as I work. I just adore them and relish their daily company, so it's impossible not to have them show up in my work. To produce this large blue vase I created a lot of bird sprigs and employed a bird themed saying, used here in a more literal sense as a tribute to my feathered companions... this functional vase is one for the birds.
