Have you thought of paper making?<br /><br />Donna, at our last house we had a swallows nest in the upper corner of the veranda and every year the swallows returned to nest and rear their little family. It always amazed me that they would fly overseas to warmer lands and then find their way all the way back to the same nest the following Spring. <br /><br />my croft, thanks for the link M. I wonder if any birds decided to nest in the installation. I will follow the other TED link too.<br /><br />Kathryn, I'm drawn to man-made structures which have been inspired by nests.<br /><br />Thanks Rossichka, It's a wonder that without being taught to create a nest the bird knows exactly what to do by instinct.<br /><br />SooZeQue, no surprise that you are inspired by the nest sculptures :-)<br /><br />Don, :-) well there's a man size nest that should accommodate you. I know you are quite capable of making one.ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-34220602926655707822012-09-13T00:44:58.420-07:002012-09-13T00:44:58.420-07:00Love that chair.

Even the flimsy nests seem to serve their purpose!<br /><br />Leslie, I spent quite a while looking at Lizzie's work, enjoying the contrast between simplicity and intricacy.<br /><br />Susan, yes the negative space in the first of Naomi's drawings caught my attention immediatly. Her work is breathtaking.<br /><br />Hi Jacky, I've missed you!<br /><br />ELFI, I knew you would enjoy the nests.<br /><br />Kim H, yes a nest full of fledglings (or eggs) is the most wonderful sight.<br /><br />Mansuetude, I'm so glad you love the poem. It really touched me. A gorgeous day here too and the garden is particularly "noisy" with birds.<br /><br />Blue Sky Dreaming, I've been trying to imagine what it would be like sitting high up in that man sized nest.<br /><br />Sophie, thank you, all is well.<br />Clever birds to use such strong materials in their nests! I put lint from the Tumble Dryer on the garden wall and the birds are always flying off with it.<br /><br />ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-89355774355139050912012-09-12T07:06:47.021-07:002012-09-12T07:06:47.021-07:00Velma, did you show the bird nest paper on your b...Velma, did you show the bird nest paper on your blog? Sounds amazing!<br /><br />Valerianna, very lucky that the birds didn't mind you raising the nest. They obviously felt safe even with Pasha around.<br /><br />Lisa at Greenbow, yes I knew you would love them :-)<br /><br />Linda S, I'm in awe of their weaving skills as well as their perseverence. We watch the male weaver birds making nest after nest after nest until the female is satisfied..... and many times she is not.<br /><br />Thanks Jann, it is such a joy to find such beautiful art and photography, and even better to share my discoveries.<br /><br />Mo Crow, it is such a thrill to think of tiny nests held together with spider web. <br /><br />Ms. Thank you!<br /><br />Annie K, you have never found a fallen nest? You really need to find one! The monkeys make it easier for me to find them since they can't resist knocking them to the floor. Of course I would rather they left the nests well alone.<br /><br />Hi Lisa!

I like the term"nesting" and think how utterly crucial it is for all beings in some way.<br />Architectural forms .. many ways to think of it..and such beautiful examples.<br />Years ago a friend discovered a nest fallen from up high in a very industrial area. Into the nest were woven strips of blue plastic.... drink straws... and wire of several kinds. Its was extraordinary and so she took it to the State Museum who were incredibly delighted to be able to keep it for show and tell.<br />It was such strong evidence of adaptation from a species that had .learnt to endure tough human intervention in their environment!<br />A warm hello... and so hope all is well in your nest at this time!Sophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-55368364415791032672012-09-10T08:33:45.325-07:002012-09-10T08:33:45.325-07:00"woven basket of a saint" touches my hea..."woven basket of a saint" touches my heart as well as the Jayson Fann image 'Spirit Garden'.
