My Bird Book......

I made a miniature bird book as a gift for Tina Capriotti. I know she loves birds and I made it for her since she's my crafting buddy and she always gets my creative juices going. We have a healthy competition going between us when it comes to crafting and it keeps us very busy. I love it!!!
I must say though, this was really hard to give away because it turned out soooo....CUTE!!!! But it was worth it when I saw Tina's face as she really paid attention to the detail in my work. Only fellow crafters can appreciate a hand-made item as we do.....



















When you open it up it unfolds to show the pictures of many birds and a little poem I made up.

















The last page has a whimsical bird saying "The End" The back page acts as the back of the book and has a closer attached that you tie to the front page.
















The front of the book is actually a shadow box and it has the ribbon tie with a little bird charm attached to it that you can close the book with....















Here is a close up of the front of the book. I lined the shadow box with the saying "Birds of a feather flock together" and then I lined the picture of the bird with rhinestones. Enclosed in the shadow box is a wire bird nest that I made with jewelry wire and pearls. And just alittle moss completes it.
