for the birds

Hello crafters,

As promised, here is a picture of the finished bird table that I started in June. Pretty soon I will have to bring it back inside for the winter! It took me a long time to decide what to do for the background design and then it took a long time to find the right materials. I ended using a mixture of brown plates and brown tiles and small, green ceramic leaves from Mosaic on a Stick to make the background representational of trees. To frame the bird I used some white plates that had leaves printed on them. I used the same plates for the little shelf under the table. When the sun is bright the whole thing is really shiny and pretty.
