Smiling Sally's blue jay is happy to introduce these cute little bluebirds. They are part of my latest creation. The inspiration came from a recent visit to My Desert Cottage where Karen was sharing a wonderful local shop, The French Nest. A little cheese dish...I have one. Some sweet little birds...I have the perfect volunteers. A nest...an abandoned Texas cedar bark nest from my woods. And the last piece...found a sheet of music with the ideal title. Oh, and a little craft paint. Had to mix white with Too Blue to get the exact shade to match the bluebirds.
I was quite pleased with the result. But am thinking it might look nice on a pedestal. I am playing around with several glass ones or maybe a painted wooden one to match. Uhmmmm......~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, while I'm thinking please enjoy
another Monday favorite of mine...

I hope those aren't bluebird eggs!
I am going to do a bit of juggling myself with Met and Mosaic Monday. As usual I started on my project before taking pictures of the BEFORE stuff. But I did happen to have another cheese dish to help with my mosaic of the bluebird project pieces. Thanks for stopping by and for more Monday musings please visit Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis--Before and After projects and The Little Red House for creative collages and mosaics.

Pretty creation! Love your mosaics!
ReplyDeleteOh Candy!
ReplyDeleteI so love this post. I have now accumulated (3) cheese domes, and was still trying to figure out what to do with them. I wanted to use them for Christmas. I can put some Silent Night Music Sheet on one and I will use some village pieces in them. You have helped me with my dilema. Thank you honey. I so love the little blue birds. You could even hide a little music box or a little battery operated light inside of the dome. Have a wonderful Monday. See ya soon. Country hugs and love, Sherry
What a beautiful project Miss Candy. It is lovely,
ReplyDeleteLaura

Very pretty shots!!
ReplyDeleteDropping by from PS! :-) Anyway, the bluebirds are adorable! :-) And to have a stand with the music sheet - perfect :-)

I love this Candy!!! What a sweet creation ~ and in a cheese dome...this is a great idea! If you did want to elevate it I bet a pillar candle holder glued to the bottom would work great ~ but I think it's beautiful just like it is. Hope your labor day weekend is going great, xxoo, Dawn
ReplyDeleteNo Sweetie, You are not having a senior moment. A couple of weeks ago I decided to change it. I did have red cherries and angels. I just felt I needed another little change for the season. I will probably have another for Fall and for Winter. I have so much fun changing them and finding myself all new. Sort of like washing the car. I never know what mood is going to strike my fancy at the time. I will always have the angels with wings no matter what. That is what started my blog inspiration, moving here to Phoenix, and gaining my wings and flying in this BIG city to survive. Survive I have. Thanks for asking, and for noticing. No senior moments here. Country hugs sweetie, Sherry
ReplyDeleteNice mosaic. Like your little birdies too!
ReplyDeleteHi Candy,
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your Monday post. Your little blue birds are soooo cute! Great job. Have a wonderful Monday!

What a creative idea, to put birds in a cheese dish! They look like that's right where they should be. And I really like the pedestal idea.
