Hummingbird Jam

Once upon a time a friend gave me a mobile of hummingbirds with little wood bodies and metal appendages. It was something she thought I would like and I did! It served as a mobile in the children's "sky room" when they were babies and hung from the porch we built on to our old garden shed for a while.  We enjoyed it still when we hung it on the porch in Asheville and watched them spin like crazy in the tumultuous winds of Western North Carolina's constantly swirling weather.  But eventually the bits  of string and wire fell apart and the little birds were free of their eccentric circles.  I decided to share a pair of my little birds with a different friend who is always coming up with excellent creative re-uses for things that are diassociated from their original context.  How wonderfully surprised and happy I was to see how he had made hummingbird jam out of one of them!  Thank you Chirstopher it is indeed wonderful jam!

*Quick update - a friend suggested I try this in sepia.
