This is another one for the new Instant Art series! This is a gorgeous antique print of a wonderful Parrot on a branch. The print was done by George Shaw and dates to 1811. Quite old! I’m showing you another Instant Art display idea today. This time after printing the image, I trimmed it and then placed it under a cloche. I added a tiny nest and a couple of wooden eggs, and then used some beautiful Antique books as props. It makes a great centerpiece for a table!
And if you don’t care for Parrots, you can always select a different image from the Instant Art Series, and use this same display idea.
