The Golden Bird
5”x7” This is a handmade card I created with Koh-I-Noor woodless colour pencils, water based ink brush pens, oil pastel and gold metallic ink on Canvas Paper. The eye of the bird is actually a very tiny glass green bead.
This creation is partly inspired by The Golden Bird by The Brothers Grimm
”...As the clock struck twelve he heard a rustling noise in the air, and a bird came flying that was of pure gold; and as it was snapping at one of the apples with its beak, the gardener’s son jumped up and shot an arrow at it. But the arrow did the bird no harm; only it dropped a golden feather from its tail, and then flew away…”

This is such a beautiful card Carrie, the colours and textures make it so special well done. What about making it into a canvas as well that would look so cool?
Carrie Glenn replied
Hey Tony….thanks (big smile) your words are always a joy. Yeah I may consider that. I actually drew it as a card I am going to be giving to someone special so it’s a smaller drawing…but I may be able to that. It is available as a matted print for the time being. Thanks for your comment!! xoxo
