Default Flock of Wrens
For several years now I have been making little bird ornies for Christmas gifts for my brothers and sisters. I've done the chickadee, nuthatch, blue-jay, cardinal and was wondering what to do this year. Then I saw the little wren pin that Forrest (tnartist05) did for his wife and I knew just what I should do.

Instead of a string for the tree this year I put a magnets on them for the fridge.

Thanks Forrest for the idea. I know my painting ain't as good as his but I hope you all like these little wrens. They are 2 1/2 inches long.
