We were given these bird decals as a baby gift since the nursery is (dare I say) themed around birds. Although I appreciate the thoughtful consideration of such a personal choice, and love the birds for their modern silhouette, it took months for me to find the right way to incorporate them.
Until I saw this inspirational photo:
Birds sitting on telephone wires, no?
Upon following the link, I found that these inspirational birds were merely fabric leaves. Oh well, inspiration had already struck.
I unburied these three 12" x 12" canvases from the basement from the life they never saw. Why not simply trim the birds to sit along the top as a triptych, acting as a backdrop to Onyx's floating shelves?
Great concept if the birds were to remain lifelessly laying on the floor atop the uninspired canvases. The reality is spelled out in following image.
Although the project failed in the end, I actually left the experience satisfied that I had at least gotten my creative wheels turning. Sure they need a bit of oil, but at least I could rely on some motivation to drive me.
