Birdhouse project

The Harbor Country Public Arts Initiative has given 50 birdhouses to local artists to decorate which will be auctioned off at a wine tasting fundraiser on Friday, January 14th. Here is the birdhouse that I decorated and just finished yesterday. It was a fun project and I tried something a bit different by utilizing the computer. I found some old bird and bug engravings and altered them a bit digitally by adding color, then made prints using pigmented inks. The prints were then mounted on the sides of the birdhouse.
