Using this plastic bird bath I got at a yard sale for $1 as a mold:
I plan to mosaic the top, but for now its on the edge of my lawn.
And here are the primroses growing nearby:

That is so cool! It makes me want to go to lowes right now and buy me some quick crete. (if that's what you used!) I soooo need one or 2 or 3 of those in me yard. Awesome. Theresa
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea...I would have never thought of that.....your flowers are pretty too. Thanks for stopping over.
ReplyDeletewe need a tutorial on this one. let's see the details!
ReplyDeleteWow! How thrifty and clever! I love it. How great it will be with a tile mosaic! Lezlee
ReplyDeleteI'm following you now! Lezlee
Oh my gosh -- that is fabulous! Did you use a premix concrete? It's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove it :) I have a link party that I would love for you to join. It is on Saturdays at www.iamonly1woman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius, Kathy! Look at what you made for next to nothing! It really turned out great, didn't it. I'm sure you must have been pleased. You be sure and let me know when you mosaic the top. Your primroses are the pretties shade of yellow. Just gorgeous. Great post! Thank you for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I did use premix concrete, and it had a lot of aggregate so I feel fortunate that the base turned out so well.

My google friend connect is not working. I've tried to thank at least new followers, but I haven't been able to (get an error message!)
ReplyDeleteSorry about appearing to be neglectful, and THANK YOU!

ReplyDeleteKathy, can't believe you got that birdbath so cheap! What a buy! Please show it to us when you do the mosaic work... :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so clever to make an object which is similar to something elso and then make it a brand new thing !!! And it looks old and like made of gips.
ReplyDeleteKathy, what a great idea! Great, now I have ANOTHER project to add to my already out of control list of projects!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful day!!
What a fun idea! I would also like to see it with the tile its going to look great!.
