Garden Art: Feeder Tree Upgrade


As they say..."One thing leads to another." Since I upgraded my bird bath project recently, I was feeling like the stand of my ""Feeder Tree" was too stiff and formal to match up with the more organic top. So I created a "vine" from wire and "Bondo", just to give a few curves here and there. The birds may not care...but I like it better.

Garden Art: "New Bird Bath Legs"

I finished an "upgrade" for a concrete "faux bois" (fake wood) bird bath that I made some years ago. The original sculpted piece was a bit lost in the hostas, and was getting a lot of leaves in it, being so close to the ground. So I made extensions to the legs and tried to give it a "driftwood" feel. All ready for Spring planting when the weather warms up!

SCULPTURE: "Old Man Winter"

I just finished a little project inspired by my most recent "Chalk Postcards". I thought it would be fun to sculpt "Old Man Winter". (I was correct!)
