Some more of my handmade bird houses...




Here are two more of the bird houses that I made and painted.  
The pink one is for "Breast Cancer Awareness" and the blue house is covered with large and small stars.  
Both houses have recycled wood on the roof that I found on the beach.  The entrance is 11/8" dia.  paint used is acrylic and two coats of exterior gloss sealer.  
They are fully functional for the birds to live in or for decoration.
Thee are more of my bird houses I made on my web-site on the bird house page.

Have a Great Day!!

Hand painted recycled shelf...


This shelf I had gotten to decorate, after having it sit around for a couple of years I finally decided to work on it, this was over the Christmas holidays. I completed all three pieces last month.  The two small boxes are actually drawers that went into the cubby holes, I made them into containers added feet on the bottom.  I think they will look great with some silk flowers, put a glass frog in the bottom of both boxes.  The shelf with the four cubby holes was painted using the designs I used on the boxes.  I added ball feet on the shelf, does have a solid hanger on the back but being it a bit heavy I put the feet on. giving the option of setting on a dresser/counter.  The painted parts have 3 coats even the pattern is 3 coats of paint, than 3 coats of finish completes this project...
