Birdhouse Mania ~

Yes ~ I've had birdhouse mania lately. These are so fun to make and a little bit addicting, too! Getting good photos today was difficult because it was so dark and rainy outside ~ making the lighting not so great inside, too. Plus my camera is not the greatest (it's on my wish list!) There's been so many tornadoes around the country lately - I'm sending prayers for those in the path of the severe weather and hope everyone is safe. Some of you live in parts of the country that already have daffodils and other flowers blooming. I can hardly wait! In the meantime, my little birdhouses remind me that spring is not far away.

Of course, they had to pass inspection!

Our weather forecast is for 60mph winds tonight! I hope I don't lose power. Stay safe, everyone, and have a good weekend. Until next time,

Cindy

Altered Birdhouse

Hello everyone,
Tonight I'm sharing photos of a mixed-media, altered birdhouse that I just finished. I started with a plain, wooden birdhouse that I bought at the Dollar Store and painted it white. I glued sheet music to the roof, covered it with Mod Podge and sprinkled it with glitter. Then I added all of the other embellishments, which I already had in my craft cabinet, including the vintage buttons. I also already had the little bird, but I painted it white and sprinkled with glitter.

My inspiration for this little birdhouse is Gayle Page-Robak.  Gayle is a wonderful mixed-media and digital artist who creates all kinds of beautiful treasures. I've especially always admired her altered birdhouses. To visit Gayle's blog, A Tasteful Touch, click HERE. You'll enjoy your visit, I guarantee!

This was such a fun project! I can hardly wait to make another one, now! Happy Friday, everyone!

Until next time,

Cindy
