You need this book like a bird needs a hole in his house,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of the Birdhouse: Flights of Fancy (Hardcover)
Picture the birdhouse you and your grandfather made in your garage when you were nine. I guarantee it did not look like anything in this book. These are not your average birdhouses! Each 'piece' is a unique interpretation. From the melting birdhouse (a la Dali) to the ceramic mosaic birdhouse there are some pretty incredible designs here! (my favorite is "darn woodpeckers" which is a 'traditional' birdhouse, riddled with holes, sitting in a pile of sawdust.)The beautiful photographs and stylish layout make the book a work of art unto itself I highly recommend this to anyone who a) is into birdhouses, b) is into unusual art or c) has a sense of humo

An inspirational source for original, and exciting designs.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of the Birdhouse: Flights of Fancy (Hardcover)
The best PHOTOGRAPHIC book of wacky designs I have encountered, so far, in my search for the ultimate in birdhouse construction. This should always be used as one of the sources for brainstorming sessions when everything just seems to be too boring or simple for your skills. My only regret is that there wasn't EVEN MORE designs to choose from. The Art of the Birdhouse : Flights of Fancy is a book that, once viewed, will leave a nagging sensation with you if you fail to purchase it at first sight.

A beautiful PICTURE book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of the Birdhouse: Flights of Fancy (Hardcover)
This is a lovely book, showing a delightful array of birdhouse forms ... out of an amazing array of materials. DO NOTE: this is a book of tasty photographs. It is not for the person seeking information on design or attracting specific birds.
