I found this wonderful bird mold on ebay. It's really designed to make ceramic pieces but I wanted it for something else as I don't make ceramics or have a kiln. I wanted to try pressing paper clay into each side, join the two pieces and have a beautiful little bird ornament....here's my first attempt! We'll see how he dries....I love his chubbiness ~
I'm still fluffing ~ now that the bathroom is completely painted and cured, I've been on the search for a beautiful shower curtain but still haven't found the right one. I know I could sew one but just don't want to really....right now, I have cream walls, chocolate colored towels and rug....
I hope your week is going great and all of your Thanksgiving preparations are coming together!!
Wishing you a great Tuesday sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Dawn, your little bird is adorable!!! i tried molding paper clay a while ago without any success...i was really bummed...maybe i was using the wrong kind of mold?

The prints are lovely and that wee birdie is just cute as can be.
Good luck with the shower curtain search.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! May your day be filled with blessings.
Hi Dawn:
I love your chubby little bird. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
I linked to your blog in my post yesterday about the Artist Classes. I also used your discount offer to sign up for them myself. I can't wait to try some of the wonderful tutorials I've already downloaded! I hope some of my followers will sign up and take advantage of the offerings, too! Thanks for your generosity.
Blessings, my friend.

Cute little bird, I think it turned out great! I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving.
I adore your chubby little bird! I hope it dries well and that they magically appear in your shop. Blessings on finding the perfect shower curtain. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Hi Dawn,
Love your adorable little bird. You never cease to amaze me! Have fun hunting for a shower curtain. I have one that I picked up at the Goodwill with chocolate leaves, birds and then some aqua on white I think. I haven't used it for anything yet , but couldn't pass it up.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Blessings~
LOVE the bird mold and the idea of using paper clay. Let us know how he dries. Nice images too. Happy Thanksgiving!
The little bird is sweet... You will have to pop on my blog and place him in a nest with the legend on it that I posted today..... Blessings and best wishes for your Thanksgiving Day.
Very cute, Dawn! He's looking good!

Hi Dawn, I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
Your bird idea is brilliant...and charming.
Hi Dawn! It has been toooooooo long since I have visited! Your blog is wonderful and I love the molded birds! I have never heard of paper clay I am sooo intrigued where do you find such a thing? Your creations just amaze me. I am truly inspired. Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with me this morning. I won't make it so long between visits. Blessings to you, Heather
Dawn, the bird looks darling - you are so clever! Thanks for these beautiful images too, as well as those the past few days. You are so generous.
Have you looked at sheets for the shower curtain? I've made several from sheets - all you need is the holes but you could use clips to get you through this week & then make the buttonholes later - if you found a sheet that you liked, that is :)
Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and all your family!

The bird is so precious! Can't wait to see the final product! Have a wonderful Holiday, Dawn!
The little bird is so adorable..cute and fluffy..Have a Happy Thanksgiving..
I think anything you try turns out great! That bird is going to be perfect.
Wonder what you will do with him?
Love the bird mold. I found a chocolate duck mold at an antique sale, but hadn't thought of using for other things beside chocolate. Now you have my mind going.
Your chubby birdie is precious. Let us know how she dries. Does she stay the same shape? It looks like china or you have a very goooood camera...lol
I also appreciate the botanticals.
Have a sweet memorable Thanksgiving holiday. I am personally thankful for you, my very first blogger buddy,
Sharon
I always enjoy your blog and tonight I'm going to put it in my list of favorites! I can't wait to see your posts this next month! Thank you!
Dawn, you are so clever!
He is perfect!!
Sure wish I'd seen that mold. But then you have to go look to find things.=0)
Blessings

The bird turned out fantastic, Dawn! I wouldn't have guessed that you used paper clay. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family! Hugs, Julia
OMG, what a creative idea. When are you going to put them up for sale, I want one.
I love it! HE'S SO CUTE AND CHUBBY!! when you get him finished he will be adorable I'm sure. Although i think he's adorable already!
Happy Turkey Day!

oh Dawn,
I see great things coming from your little birds in the near future! I made some molds of frozen Charoletts and plan on playing with them a bit!
I'll be watching for your bird creations!
Hi Dawn!
I was browsing around your blog and geting inspired. I had to smile...I bought this EXACT bird mold last year on ebay too.
Creative minds Do think alike.
