TABITHA...Bird Watcher


TABITHA...Bird Watcher...mixed media artwork by Sherry Candy Lane





....Composed of vintage 1950's felt/wire/fabric character (Tabitha)..assorted birds made of ceramic, craft-type feathered birds, wood...a label from an old top which created the character's name...floral stems, wire, feathers, old bird pins, miniature bird cage, hard plastic bird trio from 1970's bird toys found in an ornate bird cage (estate sale), ribbon, bird tin, metal pedestal, and more.





















TABITHA...Bird Watcher
Fascinated, she watched the birds
Flying, Fluttering, Flitting
Feeding, Feathering...
Following their fancies
Hidden in the branches...
Jealous of their sky-ridden stage...
Unaware that they sang
To the girl in the cage.
