UKStampers have a swap using this die... well I tried and tried but I just don't like the shape ( Is it against some law to say you don't like something of Mr Tim's?)

The whole thing seems a little dumpy to me so........

I cut off the two end bars and the holey bottom.... I like it a whole lot better now!
The paper for the background was a piece of not very sucessful hand painted stuff so it got the inky spray treatment.
The bird stamp is from Above the Mark.

Nice bird - and the gold works really well. But I just can't get past the fact you cut off a holey bottom ...
:)
WOW it does look better! Great idea. Just happened by and I love what you do! Cheers!
Sacrileg! How could you say something like that!
This is fabulous Effie, love it.

Oh i think i am loving my bird cage even more now.. didn't even think to alter the size, and it looks really cool so thanks for sharing
great idea to chop the cage down a bit...not a crime not to like TH stuff, I know Im not a fan of this cage but I think I might have another play and try and see it differently and maybe do what youve done with it...thanks for the inspiration.
Brilliant idea to chop it up a bit! Looks great!
you've added an extra benefit to the cage - and it looks great
love what you've done with the cage
Looks lovely with the slimmer proportions and I like the fact your bird is escaping from it (which is my problem with the die, not the shape - can't stand caged birds!).
Mmmm like it much more now! I agree it did look a bit dumpy :) Maybe I'll reconsider getting it when I at last get my hands on a Vagabond!

great idea with the cage!
Very nice indeed.
