Birdbath #2

Thunderation! Has it really been almost 2 weeks since I posted anything new on this blog? Well ... I'll try to do better this month. Here are pictures of the second successfull birdbath. I finished the base that I had began for the first bowl, but have started another one since these photos were taken. Someone commented that I should stick to painting, and they're probably right. I will most likely never make a lot of money making stuff out of beachrocks and mortar, but it's a fun diversion. So...I'll keep doing it as a hobby. My camera broke a few days ago so I won't be taking pictures of any new stuff until I get it fixed or get another one. I have lots of pictures I haven't used yet so I'll keep it as interesting as I can. Aloha for now, Timo

Birdbath #1

My first attempt at building a birdbath was a complete disaster. I attempted to remove it from the mold too soon and it fell apart. Number 2 (pictured here) was (is) semi-successful, but it really is too small to really be a good birdbath. And...There was the sort of unfinishedness about the base which I built up using 2 lengths of old terra cotta drain pipe. Well I tried again and the new one is a good size and will hold about 3/4 of a gallon of water. I'll put a picture of that one up as soon as I can. Meanwhile back at the easle...I've been adding the final touches to the painting "Deja View", which will probably be finished today. So that will be coming up soon as well. Aloha for now, Timo
