"Black Birdcage" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's My Soul's Dark Imagination theme was "Black Birdcage".

I've had artist's block, so I haven't been able to create anything for these challenges for awhile. I am hoping that my dry spell has ended, and my creativity has returned, because I especially like dark themes.

I didn't have many birdcage images, so I did a search for the type I imagined for this theme. I wanted one that was only the round type, but this image was the closest to that, that I could find. The round part was like a bay window in this house shaped birdcage. I also found this beautiful bird, and decided to use it for this.

Note: I've been getting errors trying to leave comments on blogs, but I don't know why. Deann left me a comment, saying I'm being marked as spam.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.38.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

Great image. It reminds of the two images on the front and back of a circle. Bird on one side, cage on the other. the Circle has two strings on either side and you twist the strings which makes an optical illusion look like the bird is inside the cage.
