I've just finished my Magpie Bag. It's one of the book report bags that I've been working on. The book that inspired this piece of beadwork is " George" by Frieda Hughes. It's a magical endearing memoir. Frieda, living in the Welsh countryside rescues the poor little abandoned magpie baby. I think we all have had the experience of taking care of the baby bird who has no home. I remember a little sparrow that we took care of when we were kids, feeding him bread soaked in milk with tweezers. We called him Flutter and he successfully grew up and flew away. So, I loved this book! And I love the truly unruly Magpies that we have here in the yard, they are endlessly entertaining.
