Hello Lovelies, look what I found at Anthropologie,
a Bird Bath Bowl, you can see below.
Isn`t it cute?! But a really expensive one,
for 332 bucks!
Would you buy such a thing
or would you save the money and made one yourself?
So I made it myself!;)
*****
Schaut mal her,
diese Schale habe ich bei Anthropologie entdeckt!
Ist sie nicht toll?!
Die haben da sehr viele schöne Sachen!
Aber diese Keramik hat mich echt umgehauen, erst die Schönheit,
dann der Preis!:)
332,- €
Jetzt mal ehrlich würdet Ihr euch das gönnen?
Für eine Schale?
I found an old bowl with a really nice structured border
and two cute ceramic birdies.
Than spray painted them white.
Added a little gold paint to their beaks.
Hot glued them on the bowl and gave this whole thing
a nice coat of clear spray paint.
*****
Ich persönlich finde, man kann das Geld besser investieren.
Deswegen bin ich durch meine Wohnung gestreift und habe mir gedacht,
du willst sowas haben, mach es doch selbst!
Gesagt, getan!!!;)
Und das habe ich dafür gebraucht:
Alte Pflanzschale,
Kleine Keramikvögelchen,
Sprühlacke in weiß und transparent, beide hochglänzend.
Goldlack/ Plakatfarbe.
(und nicht im Bild; Pinsel und eine Heißklebepistole)
So die Arbeitsschritte waren wie folgt;
Alles schön säuberlich mit weißer Farbe besprühen,
bis es gefällt,
dann Schnäbel anmalen, mit Gold oder egal welcher Farbe auch immer.
Ich habe mich hier an dem Original orientiert;)
And that`s it!
Now you have to step back and admire your work;))
Isn`s this bowl the prettiest thing you`ve ever seen?!;)
Maybe I should ad one or two extra birdies but at the moment I like it as it is.
*****
Dann das ganze noch mit der Heißklebepistole in der gewünschten Position fixieren
und alles noch mal mit einet Schicht Klarlack überdecken!
Und zu gutes letzt, zurücktreten und das Werk bewundern;)
Also ich finde es ist mir gut gelungen, vielleicht noch
ein oder zwei weitere Vögelchen hinzufügen aber ansonsten ist sie toll!!!;)

Love the structure.
Now you can use your bowl as a jewelry or key "tray" or
as the "Anthropologie" soap bowl;)
So many possibilities;)
The best on this DIY project was, it costs me nothing!
Found everything here in my home...
332,- bucks vs. 0,-
Great deal, isn`t it?!;)
*****
Man kann sie als Schmuckschale benutzten oder für Schlüssel, Seife,
die Möglichkeiten sind unzählig;)
Und das BESTE daran ist, dieses Stück hat mich nichts gekostet,
denn die Sachen lagen hier zu Hause rum, alles war schon vorhanden;)
I hope you like it;)

As most everyone agrees, your knock-off looks so much nicer than the original. As did your knock-off of the Buddha heads. Your creativity definitely has paid off! Keep up the great knock-offs and all of your other work in your lovely home. I am new to your blog; it is a fantastic read. I am now a new follower.
I like your version better!
