This birdie birthday sculpture was made for a delivery piece.

Wow that awesome, how long would something like that take you to make?

Thanks Twisty...it took me about 2 hours...but I did take a few breaks during that 2 hours.  I would say without breaks about 1.5 hours.  I usually just relax and take my time with these pieces.  Plus...I tried a few different flowers and birds and just picked the ones I liked best.  (and I popped the top of the birdbath once too...that didn't help much...lol)

Beautiful!

incredible

Love it. I've been thinking of doing something similar. Bonnie the Balloon lady has an amazing black & white birdbath & bird creation as well. Mine will be something similar......actually I never know what it will be. Many times what I make is very different than what I had initially dreamt  when I first started......Does this happen to others?

Tonya's Birdbath is stunning!  

Thank you Rett for the compliment on my birdbath.  There are times when "think" I know how/what I'm going to twist but the balloons take on a life of their own and I end up with something different than what I imagined.  As long as I like the end result, I'm a happy camper.  

Happy twisting,
Bonnie, The Balloon Lady

Thanks all   .  Bonnie...I love your birdbath!  Much more elaborate...it's beautiful!

And Rett, it happens all the time to me also.  Like Bonnie said, they have a tendency to take on a life of their own...lol.
I can't wait to see your birdbath when you get it done!  

Well I just plain love them both!  With all the snow we are having here in Canada - seeing these reminds me that spring is not that far away.

That is really really cool.A lovely design.

My birdbath as created from designs by my favorite balloon artists....
I see that I will have to fix the flowers a bit more when I set it up at the event. It was fun to make. Thanks Tonya and Bonnie.

Fabulous stuff    

I must have missed these when they were first posted. Beautifull work fron Tonya Bonnie and Rett
