|
Here is the finished bird feeder and my daughter who painted it. Well I built it my wife painted it white and my daughter Cameron did her own little thing. She is 20 months old. Hope it will bring birds for her to watch.
Front side ( photo / image / picture from newgrow's Garden )
She saw me with the camera and is heading straight for it ( photo / image / picture from newgrow's Garden )
Up and filled with seed... Now we wait! ( photo / image / picture from newgrow's Garden )
If you can see the wood in the background that is the beginning of the bird bath. I'm going to try and do a mosaic slate rock all around it and build a little flower garden around that.

She did a good job painting her bird feeder, does she sit at the window watching for birds to come dine?

Well it just went up a few hours ago but we play on our back porch a lot it is a big space 40 feet by 12 feet but nothing yet. I think it wont be long sense the neighbor has about 6 bird feeders in her yard they should be here in no time

I love her painting style.  And I hope the birds will too. Well done to all three of you.

Ahhh it's good to see the budding artist with her work and don't they both look good? I hope you'll have your camera to hand when the first visitors arrive to eat from their new feeder.

I think she will do okay in life since she learned already what a camera is for. She paints a good bird feeder, too. dooley

I myself think that is an awsome birdfeeder
nice bright colors and the abstract "art"
looks really "kewl"
