    Thanks Carolyn. It was fun and easy. Hardest part was picking it up after drying. Made two more yesterday for Christmas gifts.

    Good job! I was looking at a big Elephant Ear leaf the other day and it reminded me about that project. Maybe I need to gather some material and give it a try.

    That is a great birdbath, especially for a first try.
    However, I hesitate to mention it, but I don't think Carolyn will fit in it (
    )

    That's your first attempt?? You did a really great job Donna. When a cat approves of your work then you know it must be purrfect. :-D

    Yay! see? it was easy! And Jane is correct, I won't fit into it. I have been working really hard long hours in the garden...like 6 days a week and 8-10 hours a day.... 3 farmers markets a week and baking bread for one of them....I have lost a few pounds, but not enough to fit into a birdbath.

    Great job Donna, I love the look of it. And if it gets a cat's approval then you know you've made it well :stew1:
