NextBird for Steve


Wedding present to my son Stephen

My son was getting married. He would have no shortage of useful things so I offered to make him a piece of lace. He chose a lyrebird. I did a drawing of the bird walking away into the bush so I would have a pattern of the bird’s tail and fern fronds. He said, "A lyrebird’s bum, mum?" That is how a ‘proper’ lyrebird came into existence. Still, it is a work of love for a fine fellow.
