My desk pretty much looks the same so I thought I'd show you the bird feeder. We had a calm day over the weekend so I was able to spray paint it. I covered the flowers and birds so they wouldn't be green.

My neighbors gave me the feeder several years ago for Christmas. I can't wait to show them the renovation! I think they will be pleased with how I've brought it back to life.
As usual, I will visit those that visit me (please leave your number) and those that end in the same number. After that I'll visit others as I can.
Peace,
Kay

I'm really impressed with the progress you've made on this feeder. Not only will your neighbors be surprised and pleased, but so will the birds! Happy WOYWW from #1.
Just read your comment. You may think you are on G+, but your blog shows up on Blogger. G+ has a totally different look.
The birds will love their feeder, fantastic job.... Have a fabulous week and happy WOYWW

Really looking good Kay! This looks just the perfect size of a feeder for your patio area. I like how you've jazzed it up. TFS & Hugs

I am intrigued by the bird feeder...looking forward to the next steps. I probably should have mentioned when I offered to send the bottle caps, we don't drink a lot. Although I do have 3 Alaska Ales and and 3 Mirror Pond caps sitting on my dresser. Mirror Pond is from Oregon, but we used them the other day to cook some brats so I thought I would throw them in. Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten. Hopefully you will still be making jewelry by the time I get them to you. lol. Have a good week. Sara j #43

Hi Kay...very cool bird feeder - you'll have to show us set up in the garden..what kind of birds do you get feeding. Have a super week Cheers RobynO#37
Ooh, I love the transformation already! I'd be tempted to leave it as it is...but then again, I like the minimalist elegance of that grey greens silvery colour! Look forward to seeing what you do next!
Hugs, LLJ 44 xx
Hi Kay, Love what you're doing with the bird feeder....can't wait to see it finished.
I've posted a few more pics of the snowdrops for you today and hope I've answered your questions.
Hugs,

Oh it's lovely Kay - I love it when one can finally get round to something that's been planned - bet you're really enjoying it. And anything that means the weather is improving is a great sign!
Hi Kay - love that bird feeder. I have never seen one so ornate, lucky you! Great project too.
Must chase up FS as you are still to have a visit and I haven't heard from where she is supposed to be.
Hugs, Neet 66 xx
What a wonderful feeder! It is time to get things ready for Spring although they are calling for snow in Tennessee today. Just snow showers but very cold again. Happy WOYWW! Glenda #76
The birds are going to love that feeder, good for you.

that is very cool shaped feeder and interesting to see the rehab so, did the original colors fade in the sunshine?

That is such a pretty bird feeder, I love what you did with it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier and for the nice comments.
Happy Woyww,

Interesting after shot, leaving me wanting more, so please do post the finished version. Thanks for sharing. Be well and stay warm ~ Carole 101
What a fun bird feeder! You certainly have many talents and are very crafty... like in the good way. Judy 100
Hi Kay, your bird feeder is gorgeous - love the flowers and birds. Such a lovely gift to receive. I look forward to seeing it once finished. Elizabeth xx #72
That feeder is looking good, Kay. Well done. Lots of fun doing something like that - a bit different.

Bird feeders are so much fun. I can't have one anymore because it would be like providing my cat with a hunting ground. He doesn't need any help. April #20
Hello again, Kay. Thanks for the visit - no I'm not being paid. The young lady I am making these dresses for is a beautiful Hungarian (now Romanian) young lady in our church. She is having two ceremonies - one here in Wales, and one in Romania - hence two dresses. Not really sure if I'm barking mad attempting this, or just plain lovely... careful how you answer, now!!! She has designed the dresses - so Mabel and I are going to tackle a practice dress first to see how the patterns go - then do the real thing. At least the ceremonies aren't until August and September!!! So lots of time.

Hi Kay, thanks for the comment! The dandelions are done with Versamark, Judikins sticky Stuff embossing powder and gilding flakes. There's a post further back about them. the image is a Lavinia Stamps one. Hugs, Shaz xx
That's a beautiful feeder, and you're doing an excellent job updating it. It bothers me when people just throw things away when they can be easily be renovated or even repurposed. Blessings!
The bird feeder looks great!
Thanks for your kind comment re the Shiva Oil Paintstiks. I think they are readily available in the USA. (That's where mine came from.) And I have used them on card (rather than paper). And textured card (I think) is better than smooth card.
Have a good week,

Thanks for stopping by Kay , I like what you have done with the bird feeder.
You asked what Decopatch paper was , it's a bit like a tissue paper which can be stuck down using modge pod glue.
Happy crafting Jill #26
Wow, that is starting to look amazing. I can't wait to see the finished item. I am running really late this week, so happy belated WOYWW! Caro x (#65)
What an awesome renovation! Thanks for stopping over !!

It's very satisfying to show and tell a job well done. You'll soon have those birds happy too . Is it for hummingbirds, I loved watching them when I was in Arizona
Have fun
Janet
haven't gotten in on WOYWW in a few weeks but thought I would stop by and say hello and see what you are up to! I really miss the google reader it used to line all my liked blogs up for me to read new posts. I guess I am lazy cause now I have to go look for them! Love the look the bird feeder is taking on. Be back to see the finished job soon! Vickie
Neat feeder. I have my eye out for one that looks like a big sunflower that holds a round suet cake. Saw one but didnt have the cash. Not seen one since without ordering online.
Now that's something really different for WOYWW! I have never seen such a beautiful bird feeder, and even more so since its renovation! It's stunning. Thanks for your visit and your lovely comment, and I'm sorry to hear that both you and our kitty Beatrice have been suffering in a similar way! Beatrice is progressing slowly but still wearing her little dress until her wound is completely healed and she can't damage it by scratching. She's going back to the vet this week and we'll see how she's getting on with her kidneys.
Have a great week. Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #86
