I used tiny beads to portray dew on the flower heads and bunches of beads and sequins for the blossom in the trees.
The box is glass fronted and backed, so the sunlight can shine through naturally.
Some of the birds are suspended by wire so they seem to be flying.

The bird's nest has jewels sitting inside it and beaded blossom surrounding it.
The flowers were made out of different coloured ribbons, as were the leaves and blossom. The trees were made out of poetry book pages as were the insides of the box. Each poem related to spring.
The birds sit on the trees, the ground and fly through the air. 
This 'SPRING BOX' was commissioned as a Christmas present for a person who travels extensively, a lot of the year. Their main regret when travelling, was that they missed the seasons, especially the English springtime. Therefore the idea was to let the person see 'spring' whenever they returned home, even if it was the wrong time of year or even take it with them.
The box measures 24cm x 19cm x 10cm.
