David tells us what you’ll see in this video:

• An introduction to Becorns by David M Bird: I create characters by building with acorns, sticks, pine cones, and other nature craft materials. Then I take them into the wilderness and photograph them with birds, squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, and other wildlife.

• I build a birdhouse to attract a family of Eastern Bluebirds and they build a nest inside.

• I draw/sketch out a plan for the story I want to show with my little acorn people.

• I show how to build an acorn man using DIY arts and craft techniques.

• I share what I learned about character design and storytelling as I worked as a designer for Lego Bionicle.

• The bluebirds lay eggs, the eggs hatch, and the baby bluebirds begin to grow.

• I show my photography techniques and process as mom, dad, and a juvenile bluebird fly in and out of the birdhouse with worms, grubs, and spiders to feed the baby bluebirds.

• I try to photograph the fledglings as they take their first flight from the birdhouse.

• And finally I share the end product of this crazy fairy garden acorn art project.
