The humble house sparrow. In the mornings, I sit outside in the nice cool shade to work which means I can watch the family of sparrows in the hedge. I may just have to do a drawing or two of them and who knows, maybe a sculpture too.

Drawing the best inspiration from everyday life perfect! A sculpture of a sparrow family would be something truly special. Beautiful shots.

I've got a list of gardens birds I'd like to make at some point. Once I've got commissions and specific event species done.

That sounds like a fantastic plan, a lot of work, but also a lot of fun! It’s great to have a passion project to look forward to. Wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you. ☺️ I've done 5 species of tit and 5 soecies of seabird as collections but will do those individually as well. Currently working on winter stuff 😅 not saying the C word 🤣🤣

Oh dear, thinking about snow and winter vibes while it’s still summer takes some serious discipline! But the early bird catches the worm. 🤣🙃

It does indeed. Each one takes several hours so have to start early to build up enough stock. And it's a nice change from birds and mammals 😅

The house sparrow brings so much joy even in their plain attire!

They do, maybe not at 4am in the summer though 🤣🤣🤣
