Wednesday's Worktable: Another Birdie Custom Order

...this time, I'm working on a bookmark for my mother! 

Well, more technically, she commissioned it for a friend of hers who loves birds.

And you know what that means: 

So. Many. Birdie. Charms.

...and a squirrel, too, as a silly touch. Apparently the squirrels love to eat the bird seed that my Mum's friend puts out, too.

I've been having a blast figuring out how to arrange them, and make them lay correctly. And, credit where credit is due: Mum actually sent me a picture of how she thought I could lay them out, and I really like what she came up with! 

I'm pretty much done with it, actually, but I don't want to show the final piece just yet. Mostly, I want to make sure I take good pictures--and, since it's a gift, I don't want to completely spoil the surprise. ;)

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful week, everyone!
