Sunny Roses & Cherub Birdbath

I have been inspired by the beautiful weather in Melbourne lately to get creating and finish off my birdbath project, so here it is....


I really like the way this one turned out...

I think the lemon looks so refreshing teamed back with the pink!

Jake starts school holidays today for two weeks...gee...how I love having my little man home with me! Nice long sleep-ins, park adventures, and snuggles while watching movies, Oh how I love being a Mum.

Hi Siobhan,

I haven't visited your blog in awhile and have missed so much. Congrats on the plot of land...it really looks beautiful amidst that green pasture. I'm sure the house will look spectacular when it's up.

Such a pretty birdbath too, you are so talented.

Hope to catch up,
Adla

Everytime I see one of your mosaics, I think that is the prettiest one yet - until the next one. You compete with your self so beautifully, Siobhan, outdoing yourself everytime. How do you do that?!?!

Your birdbath is so pretty. Do you only use broken dishes or tile pieces? I have been a clumsy girl and have a bag of broken dishes and I want to try my hand at this art. I could use some solid colors and wondered where to get them or should I just go break another plate lol
