Wicked Witch Halloween Birdhouse

Here's the latest and greatest birdhouse.  Definitely Halloween inspired with the fabricated witches hat up top, the old leather patches and the orange vintage license plate.  Brought in some more custom made rose leaves from antique spoons.  Got some skeleton keys in there too!  Hope y'all like it!

You can see more pics of this birdhouse along with my other projects in the (PHOTO GALLERY).

I started this birdhouse with a 1953 Texas orange old license plate. I immediately got the sense that this one needed to be inspired by Halloween and witches. From there I used several different found old parts. I then carved some antique spoons into rose leaves as the perch as above the birdhole. An old funnel completes the witch hat on top. Pieces of leather from old skates (or witches boots!) make great hole patches on the sides. Copper accents and copper painted nuts and bolts finish the look along with some ornate trays for the roof and bottom platter.
