| That is adorable, I love the little birds, just the right touch of color. And of course I love the blingy crystals. You did a superb job and hope you didn't get too hot. Your yard and out-buildings are looking good too. You inspired me with your post to do a bird chandelier too, and so far I have everything but the birds. Frou |

| What a fabulous transformation! That turned out perfect. I have a small chandy I might try that with on my back patio. I love seeing old chandeliers repurposed for the yard. hugs, Karen |

| Great makeover! Looks great on your porch/patio area hanging there! Like the scale of the birds in this chandy & the crystals, too! TFS! (worth the wait for the birds, uh?) Jeanne S. |

| Wonderful job, Marlene! You picked great birds for it too. Love the bling that you added to the plain chandelier. That chandelier would have been a great choice for a bird feeder with the tea cups on it too. The bulb sockets look like they are just the right distance apart. What did you use for the nests? |

| Nice job & sweet birds(they don't mess either) ! Jan |

| Thanks all for the nice compliments! I did find the birds at Dollar tree thanks to Toomuchglass' suggestion. I used rafia for the nests...wound it on my fingers, then hot glued it in. Then just glued the birds on. The birds are really seagulls...they came on little logs. I got DH to cut that part off and they worked just fine. I may have to find another one soon and make one for the garden or gazebo! |
