| Finished this 'Barnwood Bloom' today & had lots of fun with it...I really like how it turned out...
Used old barnwood board & added 1 coat of Poly,
a gas stove grate & stained glass candleholder (both TS finds), (pound in staples & a screw)
a piece of rod from a broken patio umbrella,
the 2 leaves are cut from 2 shelf brackets (DH had to cut them off for me)...
& GE Silicone II w/a marble for the flower center,
& added a couple eye screws & wire to the back so it can be hung or free-standing.
waaa-laaa... a beautiful 'Barnwood Bloom!'
I like how the grate frames it... like you're looking thru a window!
Also wanted to use this 'hummingbird' GS find ...from a windchime, I think maybe...so DH cut out this birdhse (heavy duty old barnwood) & we assembled...I painted it gray & added some 'Hammered' spray to the roof...it will look nice hanging somewhere for somebody! TFLookin'! Jeanne S.

Thanks, GJers, for you kind comments.
DH & I enjoy old barnwood & I do have lots of birdhouses here on our acreage..this one sold Sat morn at FM & it went to a good home! I had 3 diff interested 'lookers' on the Barnwood Bloom...may be in my gardens yet! LOL! I'm thinking about trying a birdhouse w/one of those gas stove grates...I got 3 of 'em this past yr at a TS (one is cracked thru). Thanks, again! Jeanne S. |

| Love the simple lines of the birdhouse, so sturdy & with the little hummmer so sweet! The gas grate is great in bringing out the beauty of the flower & neat leaves. Everything always looks better on barnwood, I love it! Jan |
