Birdhouse Bellpull HD!! (picture heavy post) |
Lead | ||

I finished this on Monday and am very happy!!! It took me over 6 years to finish it (but it languished as a WiP for more than 5 of those years). I picked it
up for TWOctober with the 2 top panels finished and the rest went very quickly

Thanks everyone
I really enjoyed working on this one because we get all these birds coming to our birdfeeders (except the house wren and bluebird). But, my grandpa used to have bluebird birdhouses up on his farm and we would get to see them when we went out to visit him and grandma, so it brings back lovely memories for me, too.

Congratulations on your finish. It is beautiful. Are you going to finish it as a bell Pull or have it framed?
