Stained Glass & Mosaics

Memory Birdhouse

15 years ago

I am totally facinated with the "Memory Jars" and such.

After spending a weekend with my cousins at thier beach house and collecting all kinds of stuff, I slapped some thinset on an old birdhouse I have and squished some of our findings, along with some other stuff,into it.

I love the process!

I thought of you Slow as I know how you love thinset!

I did seal it eventho she will put it in the kitchen with her 30 or so other birdhouses.
