"Polly Wanna' Play?"
Birdcage constructed with cutaways from one
speckled-shell emu egg, each oval and triangular piece being glittered 
with aqua fine glitter on the inside, lined around the edges with silver braid, and then epoxied together.  Using dremel and fimo, I reshaped and hand-painted a resin pussycat sitting patiently watching a 
hand-painted parrot figurine mounted inside the cage on a log.
