This bird has not much color, is not able to fly and it can not stand straight up. The eyes are dull and the bird is sitting in a bit a strange position. This is exactly how I intended this bird to be. It shows how I felt a long time ago, when I was bullied for years and years.

This bird is part of my art project about bullying “feathers and dragons” - http://www.feathers-and-dragons.simpsite.nl

I am now writing a fairytale along with my art project. It is about this frightened little bird and the dragon. Because of the illustrations in the book I want to make, I have now made a second frightened little bird, one step better. And for this one I have created a dark and small box to live in…. Actually the box was already there, but I painted it and have hidden it with some plastic leaves from the second hand shop….
