Birds seem to inspire artists and craftsmen everywhere. I have a growing collection of bookmarked specimens that lift my heart, so I’m sure this collection will include subsequent additions. For now, I’ve been mesmerized by these three paper sculptures of birds.
1. Anna-Wili Highfield ~ simply amazing layers of torn paper and wire.
2. Diana Beltran Herrera ~ cut-paper sculptures from this Columbian artist, exquisitely detailed
3. Annie Paso ~ a DIY birch bird card that is fully mail-able
We’ve visited our family farm several times this Spring and heading into Summer, and I always take me camera. Most of the time it’s trained on my kiddos, producing lots of rolling eyes and silly faces. But, I also like to capture the seasons and the details I see there. Like these unexpected stripes.

Hello & welcome! I’m Haley Montgomery, and I’m the designer and owner of Small Pond Graphics. I sometimes fancy myself a frog kisser— a documentarian coaxing poignant moments from unexpected places. This blog has evolved from those moments.
The small Pond FIELD GUIDE is part diary, part sketchbook, and part wish list – an archive of ordinary wonders. For years, this space has housed my stories – creative ideas, vintage inspiration, our forays into curious places, and the simple artifacts of quiet of conscious living. Through watercolor, photography, and illustrated tales, these pages uncover the blessing of ordinary days and the wonder found in authentic places and pursuits.
I invite you to open the boxes.
Peek into the drawers.
Rustle through the pages.
I’m honored to have you here.
