Concrete Casting: Rhubarb Leaf Birdbath
This birdbath was created by casting concrete over a large rhubarb leaf, and is my Father's Day present for Mr. B. I know he won't see this today, he is traveling home. So, I can share my secret with you! This was such a fun project. I will definitely be making more of them. The leaf is a shallow pool for water that is just perfect for his new cockatiel chick, Ollie. He can be spritzed here too (I hear they like that). A small wrought iron plate stand, picked up at GoodWill for $.50, turned out to be a perfect pedestal. It elevated the leaf nicely and is a stable base.
