Birdbath Beauty

One of my favorite things about summer are the birds in my yard.  To keep them around longer, I decided to make a birdbath.  I found this glass bowl at the thrift store and used a piece of PVC pipe from an old project for the base. Since the Color Shift paints require a darker base, I painted the outside of the bowl purple then applied the Turquoise Waters and Purple Sunrise to the inside and outside.  I painted the base black and added Iridescent Shimmer, but it didn’t do too much, so I added the Turquoise and Purple again.  To coordinate the two pieces, I hand painted some vines and purple flowers on the base.  The bowl sits inside the PVC pipe.  I enjoyed the paints, my favorite being the Turquoise Waters.  It gave the bowl that beautiful blue shimmer.
