It's been a while,but I made some things!!

18 years ago

I usually work on my garden junk, but the past two weeks I made these. Three bird houses,two small trinket trays,and one large one. A cake stand. The trays and cake stands were sterling plate,not with a good finish, so I painted them white first. The small box is a Kleenex box. I also made two large geese and one small duck. And a tiny plate I mosaiced, it needs a pink ribbon around the edges,but I don't have any pink ribbon right now,lol! I also made two aqua painted silver plate trays,one is scalloped and one is round,they're not ready yet,and two more bird houses waiting to be finshed.You can tell I like the romantic look,lol! I've been busy working with some old silver plate spoons and forks making jewelry,but I don't know if this is the place to post those,lol!

    OH my you are a busy, busy, bee........
    Those are soooo neat... I just love them.
    ???Question... are the little birdhouse's on pedestal's ??
    Or did you make them on a glass stem???
    They are darling... but each piece is just terrific !!!
    I think that is soooooo smart to paint the plate to cover the plate blemishes !!! Fantastic work Thanks so much for the pictures and the instructions !
    Have a Happy Thanksgiving !!!

    Well you've certainly been on a roll, and what a roll that was. These are simply divine. Not only are you Queen of Kudzu, you're the Queen of S/C. I can't pick a favorite. Absolutely love them all. Christmas gifts??? Wouldn't mind being on the receiving end of these.

    All lovely creations! I have that same oval tray and was wondering what to do with it since it's been scratched up so much. Sprayed it with pink, didn't like the look and it's been sitting on a garage shelf ever since! LOVE it with the white, all 'shabbied up'!

    Wow, I love these, especially the way you've kept the best features of each piece and the mosaic part just adds to the great look. Love the pink grout also. Also thanks for the painted tray idea. Dumb me, I have a tray but didn't like the scratched edge, didn't even think about painting it.

    Holy dawg snot!
    What an assortment of beautiful S/C! I really like the way the bird houses are on pedestals with the bead fringe. I don't think I've ever seen them done like that! Very creative.

    I couldn't pick a favorite either...WOW!
    good to see you here again.

    Kudzu! I love those trays! And the birdhouses are beautiful... nice work on all of it - wow

  • 18 years ago

    Kween, WOW, all of that in two weeks?! Do you have to cook or clean or do laundry or shop or....? (LOL) They are very feminine and beautiful!

    What did you paint the tray with?

  • 18 years ago

    Hi Kudzu..long time no post!!! Your stuff is great. I love the words on the one tray "always kiss me goodnight" how sweet is that!!!! The colors are fun not to pink but not to white...I love them all!!

  • 18 years ago

    Hi Kudzu,

    Very nice work!! I also like the romantic/shabby look. What a COOL idea for the little bird houses. I never would have thought of that. I also especially like painting the trays white or even pink or any color. I have a couple tarnished things this would be great on. I always wondered how a person polished the silver edges after doing mosaic on the rest.

    Don't stay away so long!! Love looking at your work.

    Thank you all so much for the sweet,kind comments :) The birdhouses are sitting on glass candlestands,bought a box full for a nickel each. The sterling plated things were all pitted and ugly,had to be painted,if they were nice, I'd mosaic them and leave them silver(polished before mosaicing). I used Kilz spray paint, I bought white,some aqua and some pink. The oval tray with pink grout, I watered down pink paint and let it run through the pretty rose designs in the metal and wiped it off,made it prettier to me. Then after that,lots and lots of spray polyurethane,lol.
    I have no idea what to charge for things,what prices do you get in your areas??

    Everything is soooo lovely! I love the birdhouses!
