Eyes wide shut

Lara's challenge #3.
As I closed my eyes my mind was saying 'try not to swirl this time and be big!' Well, I was a bit disappointed by this tight string which started at the tip of verdigogh but as I turned the tile around this sticky beak seemed to point it's way forward. Paul called him 'Fowl play'. We had a good laugh! Thanks Laura....that was a beaut challenge.

  2. Thank you for this little bird tangled up in the branches while learning how to fly. My subtitling thought was 'ooops' ;-) .
    Your verdigogh is as delicate as always – I really love how you arrange the foliage.
    This one makes my day!

  10. So inventive, Shelly! I love this one. And the clever use of Crescent Moon around the edges of his Paradoxical wings is genius. He needs a name! Have you named him? He's got bucket loads of personality. [grin]
