Birdy flew the coop...yes he did. He did it with the help of the wonderful products made by Helmar. I finally broke out this birdy cage I got last year from Maya Road and went to town painting it a cream color and than used Helmar's two step crackle medium. I wanted a demensional look to this piece and got it by using the super cool Zap dots. I also used the Premium Craft Glue to adhere all my fun embellishments. Awesome awesome stuff! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for letting me share. cherry
