studio dens and fabric nests

I thought it was about time i gave building a den a shot, so tried it out this afternoon in the studio. I brought in some fabrics and set up camp under my table




It wasn't exactly time consuming to build but it was fun to snuggle down underneath it. It felt a bit silly at first but as soon as i was underneath with the material drawn across it seemed like it didn't matter anymore. The feeling was almost immediate to, which was surprising, lying down and peering out through the cracks in the sheets i felt like no one could know i was there. It was really pleasant.













I also thought i'd try making different kinds of nests under the table with the left over fabric, because id always rather have a home made of c omfortable material than twigs and mud or bits of newspaper. They turned out to be less like nests and more like hammocks or little fabric wombs. There are some birds who make womb like nests but these reminded me more of something like a kangaroo pouch.
