I have had this sweet two inch bit of wood where a branch came out for AGES. A friend has an entirely bird-themed tree this year so I made this for her and will give it to her tomorrow
Pen and ink with light acrylic paint wash.
Nesting material is finely cut crabgrass ‘flower’
Oh, and that nail polish shiny eye thing I am addicted to!
thanks for looking and happy holidays!

That is why we hang on to the the stuff we do…someday, a perfect idea comes along…this was made for that little bird! It is lovely!
Oh my goodness! This is the best.
How adorable!!
A bird themed tree?? I love that idea!!
@bluebird, isn’t this a great ornament?
This is beautiful
The shape of that wood is perfect for an ornament. What a great idea to add the bird! I know your friend will love it!
LOVE love love! I keep little bits of wood, too. The pitchy bits that don’t rot away we call “unicorn horns” your ornament is fabulous.
That’s so sweet!!
how lovely!
Aww, so sweet! 
@Lynx yes it is!
This is so cute and nice use of materials! I feel the urge to go hunt for wood scraps in the woods.
clever idea and really well done.
i wanna bird themed tree now!
thank you all for the compliments!!
Lovely.
The perfect little piece to live in there!
