Oh dear... I have been looking at these birds the whole day and just now noticed that the second bird has one leg... How could I miss that? Probably because I was so excited when I found just perfect words in my little antique book for the branch... I don't think that I can add the leg now because I used a glass-like finish on that part of the collage (the bird has a completely different feel). Can it be a one-legged bird?
I think it has one leg drawn up to its breast. they do that you know. I see some magic too.

These are gorgeous Zorana. I agree with Sharon , the 2nd bird might have his little leg hiding behind the other one.
ReplyDeleteYour art is very special!!
Wow, what "beautiful dreamers". Absolutely meant to have only one leg.
ReplyDeletegorgeous.
I absolutely LOVE these!! And yes, I think the one leg is A Ok. Perhaps he is a wounded bird?
ReplyDeleteOr maybe he's a bit of a contortionist and is hiding the other one! lol
One-legged bird or not, these are beautiful lush collages! The one-legged part reminds of the lovely story about the little tin soldier with only one leg:
ReplyDeleteOnce in a town in the black forest
A little white toy shop stood
And a little tin soldier with only one leg
Lived in a castle of wood
And across the room on another shelf
Stood a little glass shelf
And a tiny ballerina lived in there
All in a dress of lace
And from where the little tin soldier stood
They could see each other so clear
And the little tin soldier watched over her
With a love that was so dear
Then one day sadness came
The tiny ballerina was sold
The little tin soldier was thrown away
And into the gutter he rolled
The water carried him to the sea
And many far-off lands
He made many children happy
As he passed through their tiny hands
But then one day they met again
In a house in the land of Eire
When the clock on the wall struck the midnight hour
They jumped into a fire
And in this fire oh they will stay
Forever and a day
For the fire, Lord, is the fire of love
Just like the peaceful dove
love, love, love these Zorana!!! of course the bird could have one leg, the other just isn't showing by the way it's standing on the branch.

Love little birdies. I think he is just holding one leg up tucked into his body resting it. I've seen birds sleep this way...have had finches and canaries for pets. :))
ReplyDeleteReally sweet collage!
