I was inspired by the architects Greene and Greene from the Arts and Crafts Movement and recreated various designs from the stained-glass lighting fixtures and windows found in their homes. Each side of the birdhouse shows a different Greene and Greene design, inspired by organic forms found in nature along with traditional Japanese woodworking and art. I also made sure to include a few examples of their iconic Cloud-Lift motif, including the front entrance and the detail at the very top, because this simply wouldn’t be a proper homage to the Greene brothers without the Cloud-Lift.
I embellished an already made birdhouse I found at the hardware store with a wood burning pen and sanding tool and then added color using acrylic paints and a wood stain.
