I am creating this post because Cadillactaste asked me about “the bird with the worm” used as one of companions with my bonsai display in other post.

This piece of art is named as Căng by the artist and I. Căng means Struggling in English. The sparrow is trying to pull the worm from its home. Surprisingly, the main subject is not the sparrow but the worm! The bigger one may not be the winner and the smaller one may not be the looser!
It was made by spoons and folk! Very amazing! The artist paid attention to the small details such as the tail and leg direction of the bird while it is trying to pull something hard !

I have a bird theme in my home...and am a bird watcher. I love repurposed items...that it was turned into art. Beautiful. Does this artist have a website? I'm intrigued. To say the least.
Wonderful!
Unfortunately, the artist doesn’t have website, but I can share with you some of his works here. I really love the way he approaches to the art.

This one was made from butterflies

My mind has been officially blown away by their abilities.

Before covid...I took a rock art class at the local library. It was a blast!
Very cool! 👍
