This great project with the color of the tropics welcomes our snowbirds back to Florida. While you may be seeing fish, this project is for the birds. That’s the birds found in nature …and our snowbirds.

Use this birdbath indoors or out. What a cute way to serve snacks at your welcome back parties out on the lanai! Or fill with water for your feathered friends to splash about.

Preparation:
Jackie likes to start promptly, so the surface preparation must be done before class in order to complete the project in a timely manner!

• Seal the clay pot and the saucer with a coat or two of All-Purpose Sealer.
• Basecoat the bottom of the clay pot with Ultra Blue Deep. Basecoat the rim of the pot with Sour Apple Green
• Basecoat the clay saucer with Ultra Blue Deep
• Sponge the clay pot and the saucer with Ultramarine and White. To do this; wet the sponge and wring it out. Pick up some Ultramarine on the sponge and a tiny bit of White. Lightly sponge your whole blue area with this, making sure to leave some darker blue areas. Without cleaning the sponge, pick up a little White and lightly add a few touches of this. Do not make your sponged area too light!! If you do, your white transfer lines will not show  up.

NOTE: I did not sponge the rim of the saucer.
