Jane Austen To The Rescue!

Paper covered birdies...how do I love thee? Well, I love thee
a lot-eth! But I would surely love thee moreth if you were not
covered in that ACK-inducing newsprint! And colored newsprint
no less! No thank you!



Just look at those down-turned beaks...even they know they need a
make over, stat! So, before they get too depressed and tie little rocks
around their little birdie legs and ever-so dramatically toss themselves
into the nearest birdbath...I took matter into my own hands!



When someone needs a make over I simply have to take over. I know,
I know exactly what they need! { I saw Wicked on Wednesday...I can't stop!}
And with a little help from Jane Austen & Mod Podge, I de-newsified
that birdie in no time! Phew! Is Elphaba ever relieved!



Glinda demanded a bit more ooomph! So, she was covered in vintage
wallpaper using Liquid Laminte to give her that extra shine {and I
find it easier to work with than the Podge...which gets that annoying
scum across it if you pour it into a bowl like I need to}.



Naturally, Elphaba needed a little something more to make her really
sing...so, she was given a cape of sorts...made from heart-shaped tags.




Glinda requested jewels. And since I am fresh out of diamonds...she had
to settle for pearls...they look better with the olden-look of the wallpaper.



These little guys were in the dollar bins at Michaels...
the I-can't-resist-you-anyway-but-now-that-they-moved-
you-directly-in-front-of-the-check-stands-KATIE-BAR-
THE-DOOR- bins!




Ahhhhhhhhhh...now they are free of the shackles if ugly newsprint that
bound them!




And they will live happily ever after...or until one of my cats finds them
to be an amusing diversion...which ever come first! ;}
