A lovely little home. Beautiful, Mo!
and it’s surprisingly sturdy!
Oh, this is gentle & sweet. Love all the swirling loops.
each modified leaf forms a perfect half circle and the stems are so springy yet sturdy, the nest feels bouncey! I scored the zig-zag from the flower markets back in May last year and it has dried beautifully. I stitched some stems to cloth and paper last year, there’s lots to explore!
Oh Mo, this little nest is exquisite, I’m totally smitten. I do love what you do with natures treasures. ox
it’s a new way of looking at ideas of nets and lace and containment and love how strong it is!
very interesting these three: nets, lace, containment. what is the opposite: letloosement? (one o?) anyway, i first read the list as nests, lace containment. which was also cool.
love the idea of letloosement!
Beautiful and strong.
it is!
Such an exquisitely delicate egg basket…

a basket nest
The local noisy miners complained about me using one of their nests to grow bush orchids, they tore the orchid out of the nest & took all the nesting materials away so I make my own now!
enlarged the pic so as to really see and admire all your looping artistry. I’m not sure I see the beads tho unless that strike of blue on ‘the handle’ is one? It’s really, really beautiful. I need another word!!
there’s a few clay beads just below that tiny turquoise bead where the grape vine tendril is stitched into the wattle stem
Oh i love nests……………this is beautiful !
it’s amazing how delicately birds weave and stitch with just their beaks and feet!
