I suggested he use one of my wooden spools for the perch. I think it worked out perfectly. And then, it was all in my hands.
I started by priming the house with some Killz to protect it and give me a nice white surface to play with.
See how pretty!
I used some Patio Paint stuff I found at the craft store. I got my three favorite colors as well as some white and black. As well, I used a variety of paintbrushes (from foam ones to fine brushes.)
I also used some painter's tape as needed.
In some cases, a lot was needed.
I really went to town with the paint and even pulled out some round dot dobbers I had forgotten I had stashed away.
Now we just have to figure out where we want to display our work of art!
I'm sorry if this was boring for you. I've just been so excited to show off the darn thing.
Here's another colorful pretty piece, this one just got renewed in the Etsy shop.

It's a dreary day here and I think showing off these bits has definitely made it a bit brighter. I hope it's brightened your day also.
Hi Hope,
ReplyDeleteDreary here too in Central AL so thank you for the bright and cheerful pictures of your and Pat's beautiful bird house. At first I thought I was going to be seeing a Bama bird house. Your "Pulling Petals" necklace is very pretty, I love the colors.
