I didn't make this I bought it from a decorating shop. It was shiny black so I had to age it a bit, give it some patina. I also bought some plastic Christmas tree decorations that I will use as mirror frames. I have painted and distressed them somewhat and I am quite pleased with how they turned out. I think they will be great when I find mirrors for them. I will show them on a post when finished.
Now I must welcome all you new followers, I have been a bit remiss lately. I am so pleased to see the numbers growing and everyone is welcome to enter the draw for my giveaway, which you'll find a few posts back. I messed up a little with the chandelier and am now waiting on more lights!#* Won't be too long before I can finalise the date for this, promise.
A bientot!

What a lovely (big) birdcage!
ReplyDeleteLove the birdcage! You have given it a very pretty setting as well. I thought it was 1:1 at first.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, great buy and an excellent the job you have made.
ReplyDeleteWarm regards,
Meli
Ha, guess what - I've got the very same one! Mine is still black and sits on a shelf on my bookcase with various black and white covered notebooks. I like yours with the 'colour change' and patina very much. I paid $10 for mine at the Sydney Fair in May, I suspect your "decor shop" price might have been a little higher ... ;)
ReplyDeleteEs una maravillosa jaula, me encanta.
ReplyDeleteVale la pena esperar para tu sorteo, son unas miniaturas preciosas.
besitos ascension
Que buena compra, es muy bonita y el fondo de la foto la hace lucir mucho.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
ReplyDeletethe aviary is very beautiful, I want to be a bird to be here! ha ha!
ReplyDeletea big bird? I suggest a bright and colorful parrot Ara ... or an exotic bird with long tail, like a bird of paradise, so sophisticated and elegant ...
I put here the link to a photo:

Ha Love your birdcage! So is this something available in Australia only as you and Norma both have it? C
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your comments. Norma, yes I paid just a few dollars more for it but a lot easier than me trying to make one LOL.
ReplyDeleteMy Realitty (sorry, can't see your name anywhere), don't know if it is available elsewhere. I may be going back to the store for something else, if you wanted one I could post it, but then postage costs from here are fairly I think.
Hi Margaret,the cage is so cute, I truly love it.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, I'm doing a measure tape at the moment and a basket brim filled with fabric leftovers.
The tape will be in the drawer under the machine with a spare reel.
Thanks for the suggestions. Rosanna
Caterina, just checked out your link to the exquisite Bird of Paradise. I mini version in a cage would be wonderful but I cannot imagine keeping a real one like that can you?
ReplyDeleteLovely :-)
ReplyDeleteI would like to see in final context :-)
Mini hugs, Flora
Muy buena compra. Tu transformación me encanta.
ReplyDeleteBesos Clara
Margaret, The birdcage looks wonderful! I can't wait to see what type of bird will live there!!
ReplyDelete¡Muy buena compra! Tu has hecho un trabajo de envejecimiento perfecto.
ReplyDeleteMe encanta.
Besos Clara
