“Elegant Blue Bird House”
Cindy Bainbridge
~ 7 x 13", Wood, Acrylic Paint, Glaze, Rhinestones
$40
The inspiration for this birdhouse was a vintage shoe clip I found
in my Mother's closet. I started out by painting the front of the bird
house red and added a turquoise crackle glaze. I then stenciled a red
design over the blue and attached the rhinestone clip. To finish the
piece I painted freehand designs around the clip.
To make the
line of rhinestones down the front of the house I cut pieces off the
shoe clip. Sometime we don't like to break something that's whole, but I
am reminded of a teacher who encouraged me to take things apart to make
something new. I then applied a waterproof glaze so the bird house can
be displayed - and used- outside. ~ Cindy Bainbridge
