Part of the "Bird UP!" project to create and erect interesting birdhouses in Long Beach. Mine are both painted and collaged; the red/blue/black/white one is called "Flight" and features Helen Richey (1909-1947), an American aviator; the gold/maroon one is called "Song" and features entertainers Minnie Hauk and Nina Farrington.

Bird UP! is a community art project in Long Beach, aimed at nurturing a more robust bird population in the city. Artists are invited to make birdhouses for display at their workshops. These are mine for 2014. On the left is "My Bird Book, Ch. 1" (about a contest I won at age 5); on the right is "BIrd is the Word." (An image of Isabella Bird is visible here.)
