I found this horsehair nest while playing with the horses and decided to make it a branch.

Do you know what kind of

Do you know what kind of bird built the nest? I find them on my property and thought them to be from a hummingbird. It was interesting that they used white horse hair, even though I have one white horse and several brown ones in the neighborhood. It is a nice save of nature and a nice sculpture.

Thanks, No I don't know what kind of bird. It is the second one that I found, I will try to pay attention to what is flying around. I am interested in knowing also.

Hey Mele! I like this a lot.

Hey Mele!
I like this a lot. Very simple, but reflects the delicate nature of the little critter who once called it home. Great idea!

My thoughts Exactly

I really like your execution of this. It is a really nice way to show off one of these. I have found lots of these over the years, as we also have had horses, etc. thru the years. Never thought of using one in a piece like this.

Good job.

Thanks for everybodies

Thanks for everybodies support. This is such a supportive site. This attemp was so crude, I think I am inspired to try again for something that looks a little better. I don't really have the tools I need to do it so it is fun to figure out ways to get what you want with what you have. I will post my second attemp.
Thanks agian, Mele

IMAGINATION!

and let me be one to say that you have it and it works well, never put it down and always use it to it's full potential, the best things about it, is that it won't break, you can lend it out with no worrys of someone not returning it and it doesn't make your hand numb like a high power disk grinder!!!

I think little pixes who live in horses dreams made that nest... lol
