Folk Art Bird Feeder

My husband and I finally 

hung our bird feeder. 

It's the Chirp'n Chomp Cafe

where you can eat Cheep Food.

Cheesy I know, but I'm my Fathers' daughter. 

We learned a lot with this

project. It was one of the first we

made together. 

For instance, there're some things that

need to be painted before

the piece is put together. 

You can see the inside. It's

so narrow that I can't fit

a brush to do any painting in there. 

(As I write this, I realize I probably

could've done some stamping.

I'm tempted to go do that now, we'll see.)

Fortunately, most of that blank

space will be filled with bird seed

and hopefully birds!

Most of the painting was free hand work

with the exception of the "landing pad"

where I used a paper doily as a stencil.

It's a little hard to see in the picture.

Because I couldn't reach the inside,

I made sure to cover all

the sides I could reach including the bottom.

I want it to be pretty for any

kids looking up at it. 

All that's left is to add bird

seed and see who shows up. 

Thanks for visiting. 

Hope you make it a great day!
