Thank you to Lynn Flickinger and Cathy Wellner for this awesome suggestion.

Patrick Dougherty is a nest sculptor.  He makes nests.  Huge ones out of willow and other bendy sticks.  And houses.  And structures of sorts.  He also makes magic.

My mother and sister discovered his work at an installation in Sun Valley, Idaho.  Here’s what they had to say:

These are so amazing I don’t think any pic would do them justice. They smell amazing too. I would like to live in one.

These are seriously incredible.  Mom says “going in them you feel something.”  They are a tad bit mystical if i do say so myself.

Quite.  I say they’re a tad bit awesome.  For more pics, check out Environmental Graffiti.
