Yard Art

Since taking Cindy's Yard Art Flower class I am having a hard time passing up a dish that strikes my fancy. One of them was a Coca-Cola plate that has no earthly use except it is a Coca-Cola plate. I wanted to use it but not hide the logo and it was a little heavy for a flower so I decided to turn it into a bird bath. I found a small glass bowl, a few glass beads for the corners and glued a spoon for the birdies to rest and I had a bird bath. My husband put it up for me this afternoon and I was really excited, it looked so cute.
A few hours later I was walking by the bookcase and I noticed the little blue bird Kathy Garvey had made me for Christmas was gone. I thought I must have moved it when I was picking up but I couldn't find it and then noticed that my yellow chubby bird was gone too! I started searching around in the studio and looked out at the bird bath and.....need I say more. I quietly snuck around the side of the house and snapped this photo of them frolicking in the bird bath with a beautiful golden glitter bird from some alternative universe. As quiet as I thought I was I seemed to break the spell because when I got back into the house the birdies were back in their places looking as innocent as ever. If I didn't have these photos I would have thought I imagined the whole thing.


Splish Splash I was taking a bath

  1. It's spring, it's spring, the bird is on the wing! Love this, Donna. So clever.

  I had not painted outside in two years, so this was quite a challenge. It was one of those paintings I had to improve upon in the studio. ...
