Weaving it all together…
28/05/2009 by James.
I worked with The Salisbury Festival at Salisbury Museum yesterday, running a drop-in event for local children and their families. We were making fish out of willow, recycled fabric and other junk materials, built onto canes so that they can be displayed on the Museum’s front lawn as one big shoal.
I’ve also included a photo here of a nest that was built in our garden by a pair of robins this year, which unfortunately they weren’t able to rear any young from.
Every time I see a nest up close I am amazed by the complexity and beauty of it, and after keeping our distance as the birds flitted to and fro with different bits and pieces earlier in the year, its great to have a chance to see what they have created, now that they have moved on.
This one has been woven to fit the rectangular nest box and has layers of pet hair, moss, grass and found bits and pieces from yellow cotton strands to a soft old silica gel packet… a fusion of collected pieces, man-made and ‘natural.
