A Notre-Dame gargoyle stands guard over the painted egg of a house sparrow. I used watercolor and gouache to create the Paris atmosphere high above the roof top of Notre-Dame. I then collaged with antique ephemera including a scrap art bird and a piece of a letter from Paris. This card is mounted with an archival museum acid-free mat.

I painted the eggs of the Eurasian Treecreeper on this antique Egyptian postcard. One egg is resting against the back of the Sphinx, and the other egg is against a collaged tree. I also included other Egyptian ephemera. This card is mounted on an acid-free museum mat. Eurasian Treecreepers are found in the northern hemisphere, south to Nicaragua, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. They build nests behind the loose bark of trees, tree holes, in a crevice of a wall, or perhaps behind the head of the Sphinx.
