I purchased a number of these mercury glass birds a few months ago and just got around to embellishing them today. I do love them unadorned as well and keep one under a cloche in my studio. However, I wanted to dress up the ones that will be coming with me to my holiday craft show this weekend.
I created a sprig out of natural white tallow berries and a manuscript paper leaf. A vintage rhinestone was then attached with a soft colored silver ribbon. These would look beautiful mixed with a bit of fresh boxwood and vintage ornaments on a holiday table. I may end up having to make some more.... I think I want to keep some for my own holiday decorating!
