miniature sculpture

Hey craftgrrls! I've been away for awhile as I've been in a creative funk, but I made this on Tuesday.

next to a lighter for size reference


I made the tree, nest, and eggs from white sculpy. Unfortunately the branches drooped in the oven, so I had to break them off and reattach at different angles with wire and superglue. I stuck my fingers together a lot!! The flowers were some little silk flowers with wire stems that I wrapped around the branches and also glued. The whole thing was painted with acrylics. I really like it! It's sitting out on the bookshelf in the living room now, and goes very nicely sitting next to a cross stitch of a peacock that I did.
