A picture of the nest with the baby birds on your ladder would be a cool wall art piece for your home. Nature & DIY

[@megsmileyface6202]

Oh my gosh! Yes! That would be so cute 😍

[@suchendersharma9951]

Nice idea 👍🙏

[@definitely_maybe1994]

This was the first time I'd ever seen robins eggs before & they're such a beautiful colour! A painting or drawing of the nest, the eggs & mama robin standing next to the nest looking down at them...... Just think of all the beautiful colours in a drawing like that. I honestly wish I was a gifted drawer but I just can't 😢 I mean, my type of drawing is of a person, with a triangle body, circle head, lines for the arms & legs, 5 little lines for fingers, a coloured in wierd shape thing for feet.... Oh, and dots for eyes & a nose, a smile and a middle pattern for the shoulder length hair😆😆🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Wth am I rambling on about....

[@tinaesther]

Bless you for not moving the ladder and keeping the baby birbs safe! Keep us posted on Robin Watch 2021.

[@anneallen3566]

Please make this a series. Two projects per episode would be fantastic. I loved your walk on the beach, and the baby Robins cam. All and all, peaceful, funny (as always) and so creative!

[@sveapollock2537]

OMG!!! The Spoooons! Great impact in an empty space. It’s 3-D but it doesn’t stick out into the walkway, it totally goes with the aesthetic of the kitchen but it’s quirky and contemporary. Only you, Dani. It’s absolute genius.

[@holeyheartedmelissa4503]

I laughed when the first draft of the rock color scheme was.... rock colors. 😂 It turned out beautifully! 🤩

LOL I KNOWWWWWW i had the same feeling haha

[@serenac5905]

I would love for you to make this a series. I love how easy these are to do. Some of your other diy’s intimidate me but these are like getting me feet wet and building my confidence. I would definitely put both of these in my home.

DIY Danie is Delightful!!! Love your joy, enthusiasm, creativity and the puns are the best! Please give us daily updates on the baby birds, they change and leave the nest so quickly.

I loved the finished rock art piece its absolutely stunning. I would have hung it landscape but that's just me.. Shout out to Dan! The editing is dope and the caption font is perfect!!

[@NitrosMom074]

Danie, you are definitely my favorite DIYer on KZbin. You are the most versatile and creative in everything that you do and all your projects are well made. You never seem to “just do something” to create content, but put thought and design into your projects. Thanks for sharing your unique aesthetic with us! 💛💛💛🥄🥄🥄

[@terriesigmon6307]

I love how smooth the rocks, it brings a calmness!

Only you can take rocks and wooden spoons and make them art! I love both projects! You must have the patience of Job working on these! Kudos to you once again!

[@lindeehopkins6439]

This turned out FABULOUS!! ( Rock piece). The rocks looked like candy coated because you dipped, rather than brushed them. REALIZED REALLY LOVED!

I love both of these DIY's, but the winner is your hair! I love the purple! Sweet little birdies - thanks for sharing them! God Bless!!

[@myxochi]

Wow!! When you said you were going to do rock art, my kindergarten brain said, “wha...?” And then, DIY Danie creativity took shape. I love it! I never thought my childhood fear of the wooden spoon could be quashed but you did it! I really think I could do this. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@vtlady52]

LOL. Me, too!

[@shabbysuse7821]

I love both art pieces. I felt the same when I came across the "little Greene" advert. Your piece is just inspired!

[@fisherlady408]

I love the rocks, the spoons, the rocks, the spoons, you get it! Great job Danie.

[@mltbkr]

Love the rock installation...not so much the spoon project. Spoon project does look great but seems complicated to make. Your so lucky to have access to all those beautiful rocks. You ROCK Dani!!!!!🥰

[@amyweaver7413]

I love the texture and movement I feel from your rock art. It definitely feels connected to nature.

[@LarrietDarling]

Omg! I love your hair like that in the beginning. I dunno why or how, but it makes you even cuter than normal!

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

Hey...nothing wrong with stopping a DIY...rethinking it...retooling...and moving on to achieve the results you were looking for. Well done. Both projects look terrific. You're so creative and clever!

[@alimashmihar1129]

Thanks Danie. I'm going to talk a walk down the road to the beach, collect some stones and try the stone art to put behind my plants on the front patio. Love you DIY's, you always make it look fun.

[@Roxycharms]

Oh my gosh! I love how you were diying nature and nature brought you a gift! Fantastic! You are so deserving of the that little nature gift. We could call you Sanie since you were channeling your Steve Irwin personality

Love love love Little Greene’s ad for this collection. It is just so calming and peaceful. So pleased you took inspiration from this

[@janetiremonger9609]

Heck ya! I love the organic feel of both projects. Organic as in nature. Lol when you stained the frame around the rock art it really made it pop.

[@heyyheyypaula]

If any of the rocks fall, can you put up a “falling rocks” sign somewhere near it? 😝

[@dianegriffen2756]

I LOVE your artwork. I also just wanted to say that, taking rocks and pebbles from the beach has caused our own beach/tide defences to become extremely unstable and vulnerable, to the extent that the houses and businesses along our own beautiful coastline and a unique freshwater natural habitat are now at serious risk from being destroyed by the sea. Yes, we once had a beach full of pebbles just like yours, and not that long ago - 10-15 years?One or two pebbles may not seem like much, but if everyone does it...and the sea does the rest. You eventually end up with a situation like ours which has been costing millions every year to protect these buildings and our precious unique freshwater natural lake from being taken. Our council have recently decided that the cost is now too great to upkeep, and next time the sea invades, people will lose their homes and businesses, and the completely unique species of plant, birds and insects that we have here will be killed. Please don't take or encourage taking pebbles from your beach. Your beach is your natural defence to prevent greater destruction from the power of the sea. xx

[@mvtonnemacher]

You presented this information in such a positive way. Thanks for sharing and now one more person will leave the pebbles alone :)

[@jackalopexjackalope9870]

I’ve been scrolling and scrolling hoping to see -someone- else making this point! I love Dani but yes, taking things from the beach seems innocent but so many people do it that it destroys ecosystems and has ripple effects. Little animals, microscopic things, all sorts of plants and such are reliant on the rocks and driftwood and shells and sand. I hope more people become aware of this and also protect themselves since it’s usually illegal to take things and they could get fined! Please be kind to the little creatures, everyone! 🥰

[@susanciaburrilamarca7824]

Always someone isn’t there!

[@whatshellydoes7308]

Series for sure! I plan to grab some rocks to use instead of tiles in the shower area of my bathroom. Keep them coming Danie.

[@therockinwomanify]

I almost always say on every one of your videos...YOU ROCK...well this time you TOTALLY DID!! :) :) I too love copper metal. A few years ago I used copper piping and copper plumbing fixtures to make curtain rods. For the finials, I used antique doorknobs! Of course, I still use them. Always will. Love your rock art. You are definitely an Earth child....Peace out Danie :)

[@hannahjaneheathson]

This was such a fantastic video. I laughed so much and also the DIYs came out great! I really love how honest you are about the process and how you have doubts and rethinks along the way. It really helps us see the creative process and shows us that we can doubt and rethink too! And the baby birds and beautiful eggs were an extra touch, move over David Attenborough 🤪😄

[@rebeccaklages9783]

I just love your imagination, I'm a big fan of ombre art work for hair styles so why not wall art pieces. Absolute genius idea for the spoon art wall , so fitting for a kitchen,hope you've painted this idea 💡as see it become a trend for all DIYERS to have a go at,remember folks you saw it here first.!!! Stone work is so organic but can now see this becoming a Trend. My biggest love was that you reminded people not to move the nest of the baby Robins, and the surprise on your face when they had hatched was of pure joy,nature is such a wonderful thing and we need to look after it.😍🥰🤩😘💖💖💖

I googled “what are beach rocks” and found this: the consolidated deposit that results from lithification by calcium carbonate sediment in the intertidal and spray zones of mainly tropical coasts.” But in Danie’s hands beach rocks are calming, beautiful art. And yes, Danie, that was fun.

It’s very inspiring to use what you have outside. I take branches, that are an interesting shape and debark them. A little clear wax and use them for macrame, a small weaving project or simply laid across a shelf. And I grab driftwood whenever I see it for a tea light holder, a shelf (needs to be planed, a vertical display piece, a lamp etc. Great vid 👏👏❤️
