Spotlight On Winestone Birdhouses


Singing birds with microphones


Layla Coats is the very talented Owner, Designer, Maker, Curator, and of course the Birdhouse Artist at the Gorgeous Winestone Birdhouses shop on Etsy!


Here's what she has to say about her wonderful creations and herself:



I have always been an artist, my main mediums have been pen and ink and paints, both acrylic and oil. I have always dabbled here and there with other mediums and other artsy ideas, but the singing birds inspired me. 
As I sat on my front porch sipping my wine in the tiny little spot of Roslyn, Wa. I couldn't help notice all the birds around me and how loud they were. For some reason in this particular part of the world, they always sounded like they were singing with microphones. It was beautiful.
As much as I fancy my wine in the evenings, and being the art minded soul I am, I kept all my corks knowing I would incorporate them into my art one day.

My dad, and avid bird lover, raised me alone and every Fathers Day I give him an original artwork by me. With the combination of these things and my creativity, my very first mosaic birdhouse came about. 

Since then I have traveled to many places collecting anything I find that I can incorporate into a birdhouse. They have become me, I love adding details and making them very special.
