Birds and Birdcages Blog Hop -Day 1

Hi everyone welcome to the Birds and Birdcages Blog Hop hosted by Sandra www.365daysofcricut.blogsp​ot.com if you are here from Dee http://deesdesignsfrommyheart.blogspot.com/ then you are in the right spot! If you just arrived here and would like to start at the beginning please start at Sandra www.365daysofcricut.blogsp​ot.com . Sandra is having us all make projects with birds and/or birdcages and some of us will be posting on both days Wed/Thurs. So please come join the fun. 


For my project I made a bird house and bird. I picked up the little wooden bird house at Michaels for 10 cents and my niece Kiara insisted I use her ceramic bird, so I did just that.  


Without further ado here is my project,

Here is my supplies, I forgot to include my bird and house. 

For my little house I used dark green acrylic paint for the roof and the base. I then used extreme glitter in green to cover all of my dark green with glitter. after that I used brown acrylic paint and painted the bottom, window ledge and awning. I glued a half pearl in the center of the awning. I used my irock and attached a gem to the 8 swivels of the awning. after that I glued 2 blueish colored dragonflies to it. At the corners of the bottom I glued a red silk rose.

For my ceramic bird I used acrylic paint in dark blue and light blue. I painted the body with dark blue. Had to give it several coats and a little of the white still shows thru, but it looks nice that way. The head I painted in light blue, gave him 2 black eyes and a orange beak. I took the light blue and made a few wing and tail lines on my birdie. Then I took the dark blue and made a few lines on his head.

I really like how my little bird and his house turned out. Do you like it? If so leave me a comment and become a follower I will pick a number on the 15th and you can have them as my blog hop candy. :O)


Here is my project together.
