March 22, 201412 yr Just finished with a Birdbath I am donating to a fundraiser for our local County Fair. I started this a year ago working on the flowers. I had decided to try to do this Hummingbird and Morning Glory theme by a table done by George Bennet.???? (I should have looked upbefore posting. Sorry if I am wrong) Tryed about two different styles of base and couldn't make myself see how the vines and flowers would work. Finally settled on this tree type base. It was fun to learn how to make the flowers a couple different ways. The pipe flowers were a little more realistic but I like the ones made from 3/4 solid. The bowl is one I bought from Amazon. Not quite what I wanted but The wife thought it worked.

March 28, 201412 yr Author Thanks for the kind comments The people I gave it to are currently displaying it in the local banks to try and get interest and greater participation in the event. Some businesses buy a table and have a theme in which they compete for the prize of best table. The person who invited me to join them at their table is having a Native American theme. If I am able I am thinking of making a spear or arrows for them. Something I haven't done but I enjoy trying to do new things.
