Take A Word Challenge - Blackbird
I was asked to provide the inspirational picture for this week's Take A Word Challenge. The word was blackbird. I love blackbirds! They can be sinister, funny and sometimes just plain messy. Just ask any scarecrow! Edgar Allan Poe was quite an authority on blackbirds (ravens), too.

Awesome creation, a little bit gruesome, but funny too with the bird dropping, I love it.

A very clever piece, Bill. Bravo.
Bravo, Bill. That is the quintessential black bird piece of all time.
love, love, love, love this! the black and white elements blend so nicely together. true eye candy (even the poop!)
You scamp you. I thought at first that was a flower on Poe's hat, but alas and alack it was the blackbird's offering for the day! Thanks for giving us a great example for inspiration, Bill!
