I took this red bird (that I think was originally green when I bought it)
and painted it Heirloom White.
I then used a little Shanty2Chic Ralph Lauren glaze to add a little bit of depth.
I then added a pedestal and a bow, but wasn't in love with the look...
So I created a little nest for the guy
and perched he went.
I love it!

I love it too! Very cute.
How cute, Chelsea! I love it white! I have to get that glaze. My last trip to Home Depot I only saw the gallon cans. Love it in the vignette with the egg you did!
This is just way too cute. Love the bird on the pedestal. So pretty. Hugs, Marty
I love it too!!!! I totally may have to steal this idea!!!
The little nest is the perfect touch!
This is very cute! The nest and the crystals really added the perfect touch.

Sooooo sweet. I love the finish on the little bird and the pedestal you fashioned for it. Great work!
I love him! Especially the little nest and crystals!
I love it as well! I've been painting a ton of stuff white as well lately. And Spanish moss adds just the right "extra" to all things bird related. :)
beautious

just found your blog and I love what you do! This little bird and your egg are just darling! Thanks for the inspiration!
Please, stop by sometime and say hello!
Have a Happy Day!
Really nice, I love it and the nest is just perfect! :-)
What a sweet little bird!
It is amazing what a little paint will do. I have some old Easter decorations that I haven't used in a couple of years and I am thinking I might spray paint them white and I might just fall in love with them all over again!
Oh I love it:) So sweet and goes so well with your gorgeous Easter egg!! I am going to have to find an equivalent of the Ralph Lauren Smokey glaze here in Australia! Your bird is just lovely ~ Tina x
What a fabulous idea...I love it! I may run out and attempt this on my own. Thank you so much for sharing! ~Liz
That is such a pretty grouping you've created! Love it love it love it!
I am so in love with this! I missed your linky party-oops! I think I am going to create a list of linky parties on my side bar or something, what do you think of that idea?
You have a wonderful creative flair! I'll be back often, and I hope you don't mind, but I'm adding you to the links list on my blog. Thank you for sharing!
