Crown & Bird feeder

Crown & Bird feeder

Here is the finished crown that I made at Pottery.
The inside is a saturated purple ...on the outside I used a warm Birch.

I love how it all feels ..so shiny and smooth ....I can use it for all sorts of things ...to serve food out of ...such as salads, pasta, pasta salad, fresh fruit salad, soup
I can put a plant pot in the middle of it
Use it to hold kitchen utensils, in a bathroom to hold rolled up face cloths
At Christmas filled with sparkly baubles ...etc..etc...
I think it will come in very handy 
And it makes me smile.

So many flowers in the gardens of Maisonvogue.
There are flowers where ever you look.
And so many more yet to bloom
I am eagerly waiting for the Lime Light Hydrangea's and the Raspberry Hydrangea's to bloom.
Meanwhile I am enjoying the bright pinks of the impatiens.
The vibrant purples of the petunia's.
And all of the greenery that the storms we have had lately has produced.

I also bought home my bird feeder ...the color was hard to photograph but the photo below shows off the correct color of the purple I chose.

I loved making it and moulding the birds ...they are in a crystalized matte Robin's Egg glaze ..I love the contrast between the shiny purple.

I decorated the bottom of it too as that is seen when it is hung up.
I carved some little birds in it and a pattern of three dots.
I used one of my favorite glazes Textured Leopard by Spectrum
I then carved a Birds feather in the raw clay.

I left the beaks unglazed so only the clay shows.

Unfortunately my first visitor to the bird feeder was this cheeky chappie.  Ha! Ha!

Thank you very much for popping by

Happy Days to you all
