"Nest" was created in the style of a random basket, made from basket reed, and resides in our backyard along with the ill-fated cactus. I added a clear plastic dish in the bottom which we fill with birdseed, and it’s become quite popular. Even the larger birds can use this one, and it’s out of reach of the gopher.
"O’Beast" was inspired by the monster feet in the book "Yarn Bombing", and the bus stop bench near our house seemed like a good candidate. Now I’ve started thinking of ballet slippers and other possibilities.
The feet are cut from wool sweater knit and machine stitched together, and I knitted the claws from a fine wool yarn--just a triangle seamed up like a tiny hat. It’s too small for drivers to see, but provides a little surprise for pedestrians.
