Landfowl, are known as "Game"
Because they're always playing!
Today the game is 'Hide and Seek'
The grass they are assaying.
 
They're crouched behind tufts, they're on the peek,
Each trying to stay hidden
To camouflage their pretty colours
They slip amongst the swidden.
 
Lovely chunk of driftwood, with tactile smooth edges shaped by a life at sea! Now cleaned, sealed and housing a selection of  little handmade clay birds.
 
The birds include a pheasant, a grouse, a partridge, a woodcock and a quail. Finished with miniature flora and forna. 
 
Whilst this might be utterly exciting to children it sadly is not a toy and is intended solely as a decorative ornament for adults! (who lets be honest, will be as excited as a child to own such a thing of beauty!!).....just to add, this item is not for eating!
 
Beautifully hand crafted game birds adorning a stunning piece of driftwood, which has been lovingly, cleaned and sealed, ready to occupy your new favourite view point.
 
This item is a complete one of a kind, that can never be replicated because the design is fully dictated by the wood, which is a wholly natural product, chiselled by a life at sea. This, I find, adds a beautiful element to every piece, as each has had a life prior to it becoming part of my work, and their form, shaped by their journey enhances each creation.
 
Just to add, we are not able to identify the type of wood further than to say it is drift wood found on a UK beach.
