I dont know if you remember this from an earlier post, it was just an unattractive metal piece. I gave it a through washing. I sprayed it with a good metal primer and handpainted the flowers and leaves. It measures about 16" high. Then I had the fun of trying to figure out what color and size of bird would look best. I chose a light green bird then decided this ribbon went great with the pink in the flowers. I haven't varnished the piece yet...it is hard to get a good photograph when the varnish shines. Please leave me feedback so I will know what you think of this, it was so fun and unusual.

The birdie looks charming...she looks ever so pale green...perfect on the white background. What is she perched on? Is it a wall hanging?
Adorable! Happy Valentines Day!
