Another cool idea..I sold this birdhouse clock at a Wild Orchard Guest House open house last year.. I had several artist friends displaying their work throughout the guest house and this clock was purchased by a customer who used to shop at the Cordwainer Gallery in Bedford...she knew the moment she saw this clock that it had to be her's!  The Blue Bird pendulum swings (flies actually!) gently from side to side and the roof is shingled with  real little itsy bitsy shingles that Jeff made....the bird is carved out of pine and hand painted with paint colors close to the real bluebird coloring...almost indiscernible from the real thing!
