I love this! I’m not into cutting dowels, though. I probably “can” do it. I just don’t have the inclination. I wonder if twigs would work? I have a ton outside. And I can just break them. Might give it a more rustic look.

That's what I was thinking! Birch would look great with the white bark. I don't have any twigs--how ironic
I've been so happy I didn't have the clean up every one else does.I could go the park. Take a bag and collect some pine cones.
I would think a cone from a thin cardboard mailer would work just fine. ? Or stuff the hat? If you know anyone who works in manufacturing it's so easy to rescue foam and stuff
that gnome is really cute! I get the hat over eyes better

Bump.
I want to make this:
I have teacups from my grandmother that none of my children are interested in after I’m gone. So I think I will use them and make a couple of these feeders. I will just want to bring them inside whenever bad weather/wind is expected. I would hate to see them shatter.

a friend of mine did something similar and maybe even easier. He started with a piece of plywood that fit between his blinds and his window. Then took apart a fake Christmas tree and reassemble it as a 2D tree on the plywood. then using a glue gun, he made the tree and decorated it. It stands in a corner of the attic 11 months of the year.
From the outside it looks just like a Christmas tree is right next to the window. I'll take a picture of it next year.
My oldest daughter has been very much into pottery. Not the kind that uses the wheel. She did try that but it was too hard. She uses sheets of clay and molds by hand or uses molds and stamps. Anyway, one of her pieces was chosen to be in an exhibit! It's a planter. 
She's so excited. So am I. It's not like a famous gallery or anything lol. But it's still super cool.

My granddaughter did a tumbler and grandson did a bowl. These are just painted from already made ceramic pieces.
Then I painted a plate which I actually was pretty happy with except for what's supposed to be a delicate dandelion blowy thing, haha. Didn't quite capture what was envisioned in my mind, lol. But I really like it otherwise. Oh and the sun is too small.

I am writing stories, and the ones I write lately have vegan perspective being shown more. There is sample writing from me included. There is writing I show with a sequence on Discord, if anyone uses Discord and would want it I can share an invite to it. There is also the Facebook page I have been using, Vegan Fiction Writer.
Besides those media, I recently use Mastodon. I am with the account FredVegBur, I have it on mastodon.social, but very recently I saw, with it mentioned on this forum site, there is a veganism server on Mastodon, so to be in that as I finally decided to be, I made a second Mastodon account, to be involved in that.
