pressed flowers, suzanne and birds?:-)

there's a wonderful lass named suzanne!:-)...she's courageous and innovative and fun!:-)...she's a gardener!:-)...need i say more?:-)

you can find her here...

www.SuzannesGardenTreasures.com

and there's me!:-)...the luckiest girl in the world with the best friends on the planet!:-)

suzanne gave me a gift that is precious in the pressed flower art world...pampas grass!:-)...beautiful, fluffy, silvery, soft pampas grass!:-)...

here's what happened...

meet the new specie of bird, the pampas breasted leaf-bird!:-)

a small green dogwood leaf for his head...another dogwood leaf for his body....overlaid with japanese maple leaves for wing feathers...

tail feathers are strips of an autumn dogwood leaf...feet are more tiny strips of the same leaf...

his beautiful, fluffy breast feathers are a foundation of pressed leek overlaid with the marvelous pampas grass!:-)...thank you, suzanne!:-)...i can already think of 1,000's of other ways to use it!:-)

he is perched on a strip of the most beautiful bark i have ever seen!:-)...shed from a pear tree outside a mountain cabin...thank you, dorothy!:-)...like i said, i'm the luckiest girl in the world with the best friends on the planet!:-)

enjoy,

rebekah:-)
