The textured art print is a giclee, which is fancy archival cotton paper that is textured to look like canvas. They're usually printed using highly lightfast pigments rather than just standard inkjet inks.
With the dress with the button issues you could just reset the buttonholes slightly closed more so that the buttons stay closed or get different sized buttons and sew them on to make sure that they stay on the dress.
I would have never considered myself a bird person, I used to have a fairly serious phobia of them! But because of you and Archie I find myself talking to pigeons when I'm out and about lol Thank you for helping me learn to like birds.
The intro to the babies was one of my favorite thing ive watched on youtube in weeks. Im so happy to see you back making content, i adored watching you talk about the babies :)
The blue porcelain bird wall décor. If I'm not wrong there's supposed to be 2 other birds, originally wall décor like that has 3 or more different sized pieces. Might be wrong, but worth keeping an eye out for other ones in tip shops.
Honestly? just become a bird vlogger im obsessed with the bird content. reading to them, building them things, just an hour long bird livestream. anything really.
Hey! I was a professional picture framer in my last career and my recommendation would be to have all your DIY fun with the frame but to get a new mat cut at a framing shop! It should be pretty cheap and you won't have to worry about destroying it -- depending on who put it together, it might be all stuck together on the inside and consequently hard to disassemble. Also, lots of materials release gases, acids and stuff over time, so painting the mat could result in staining of the art and fogging of the glass.
For the frame, I've seen folk put them up as part of picture walls! You could spray it to jazz it up if you like, and just hang it as is. (Thats what I'd do!) 💗💗🏴 PS i have a top in the same material as that gorgeous gold dress. Hand sew the areas you need to stay closed, so you dont need to worry about it popping open! Its stretchy, so you should be able to still get it on. HTH!
I LOVE all the pigeons and their names! Also I think that is a great idea to paint the frame of the birds and switch the paper to match the wall, it's going to look so nice! Love all the finds!
I love the idea of a feature wall in your house with all of the bird pictures/paintings/decor randomly arranged ❤ A thought for the empty frame...if you hung it on the wall as is but in the centre you hang a hangibg bud vase so you could put seasonal flowers in it, perhaps? 😊
weeeeeeeee pigeon content!!!!! these lil babes are so precious! i can’t wait until we get an aviary tour or something like that! i’d love to see their setup 🐦🩵
Penguin is adorable! By far my fave of the bunch, he seems super laid back and chill (so far!) Penguin suits for the chill vibes and look he has, let him keep the name! Looking forward to the next instalment, see you tomorrow Alex
I know ypu probably have a ton of birds but I would honestly love a video introducing all of them. Even if it would be an hour long video. I just love to listen to you talk about them and explain differences between them. And I love birds
It is wonderful to have you back again and it warms my heart to see you so happy! I hope your visit with Archie is wonderful! How is Laz doing? I like the squab squad (Penguin is my personal favorite he looks so cute!!)
I had a bare metal oval frame too. I made a back backing and glued dried clematis blooms. And moss all along the bottom. So it's 3D in a way. Was a fun addition to my gallery wall.
I'm realizing, as you show the art, that you'll become that cool grandma with lots of hidden gems and heirlooms to pass on! It's definitely not me style but I love to see you enjoy life. Also edit: I would stain the bird painting frame a bit darker, but you could also remove the varnish and revarnish it matte!
I got a very similar dress but in red from tkmaxx except it is more of a dress length. I’ll have to check what brand it is when I get home. It’s such a good go to dress!
I'm so happy to see that you are doing well. And are doing everything that you love and enjoy. Keep doing what you are doing, and I will happily watch all of your amazing content. ❤❤❤
Two ideas for the empty metal piece. 1. Either a bird bust so there is something 3d amongst other flat artwork or 2. A perch where u can place a real bird to take pictures of them amongst all the artwork.
Ok Alex I have many suggestions about the bird trio. What I would do is (if you go back and look when you held up the darker blue bird on your wall how nice that looked) paint the mat a darker blue. You could even take the same wall paint and just add a touch of a darker blue or black to give it depth and paint the mat that. For the frame if you wanted to keep the timber, since it's a warm shade it would be fine. But if you want to jazz it up and make it a bit older looking to match the older prints. I would not just paint it gold, it would look just as good in a matte gold. But for me instead I would give it a base of either a bronze, black or white and then use a gold crackle spray paint on top. It will give it a more antique feel. Also for the dress because it wants to pop open. Don't fight it, wear either a cream or black lace bralette under and let it be open. To combat the length for summer I do a black leather short skirt, or winter I'd do a thick tight with high boots. Or leggings and short boots and add a long cardigan. I hope my thoughts were not to exhausting! 😅
Happy to see you again!! The piquin should be named Pingu! The brown one Spirit! The British one Tom! The other grey one ninetail, and the twins Wanda and Pietro 😂😂
I woukd love to go to Australia just to bird watch , and vice versa , ontario canada has some amazing birds , your red breasted robin is so different from ours here
We had a little city pigeon for a day or so and he was so soft I would love to have a pigeon for when we have more room. Definitely need a bird room though
Well, obviously the brittish grey bird is already named. Nugget. I think the penguin looks like a Milo. The twins are Prudence and Priscilla (or Millicent and Mildred). The fan-cy bird (pun intended) could be a Percy or Harold or Earl Grey, like the tea. He looks a bit noble.
The baby pigeons are adorable. The twins were funny when left alone. The seated one was pecking at the bird sculpture while the standing one looked on very disapprovingly. You might have to edit it down, if the birds are simply staring at the camera for 45 minutes😉. The empty metal frame could be used to showcase one of Alex's bird images. In fact a whole wall of thrifted antique frames containing those images would be a great wall decoration and showcase for her art. The thrifted ruched top (?dress?) is pretty, but is a fashion emergency waiting to happen...so layer layer layer if worn in public!
I got some suggestions for names so Bird1 Pingu, B2 pinga (yes pinga is pingus sister from the show), B3 Britney, brexit or avon, B4 babytail, Twin A & B tension, salty or Vinegar
I'm so glad to see you back looking healthy and doing well the pegion babies are super cute will Archie make any appearances in 30 days of thriftvember
I honestly think Penguin is a cute name for the black and white Lahore! That or Tux(edo). You should call the first gray one Rocky with how hard he was filing out on you, lmao! So happy to see you embracing your true Circle of the Shepherd Druid form. It’s suits you wonderfully! Edit: By the way you should call the Twins Speckles and Stripes from their markings!
You just bought a bunch of mirror tiles in the previous video, why not try to find a way to get one cut to fit that fancy frame? It would make a beautiful mirror!
The green picture mat is likely acidic. Over time it will degrade and discolour the paper print/painting it is protecting. Acid free mount board is the way to go instead, you can get large sheets for not a lot and an angled mount cutter for not much more and customise your own. If you arent precious about the prints then of course it doesnt matter! Be careful painting the mat though as it will likely stick to the glass when you reasssemble it and create a funny looking texture. Gloss paint will be worse for this, you may get away with matt if it is put on super smoothly i.e. not with a brush.
You should zoom the camera out or move it back some so we can actually see the outfits... maybe set up a tripod outdoors? If your house set up doesnt do. Like cant really see it....
Pingu for the Lahore!!!!!!!! Noot noot 😂 What is the most British name???? Lol... Charles??? George?? Lol That cow painting suits that wall colour so well!! Oooo OOo OOo OOo.... you should put the bird wall thing in the bronze frame!!!!
I was thinking, when you are interested in hobby…you can talk for hours about that topic….the twins I was thinking Lucy and Linus from the cartoon strip Peanuts.
I'm happy to see you back on TH-cam again and you look like you are actually happy and enjoying life and that is all that matters
Emperor (Penguin) would be a cute name considering his size! His nest mate could be something coffee related due to her colouring.
The textured art print is a giclee, which is fancy archival cotton paper that is textured to look like canvas. They're usually printed using highly lightfast pigments rather than just standard inkjet inks.
That hairstyle looks super flattering on you! So cute! And your hair is looking super healthy as well 😄
With the dress with the button issues you could just reset the buttonholes slightly closed more so that the buttons stay closed or get different sized buttons and sew them on to make sure that they stay on the dress.
You should call Penguin Pingu! Like the stop motion penguin 😁👍 And I prefer this over the green screen ❤️
I would have never considered myself a bird person, I used to have a fairly serious phobia of them! But because of you and Archie I find myself talking to pigeons when I'm out and about lol
Thank you for helping me learn to like birds.
You could definitely just sew the buttonholes up so they're a bit smaller. Easy fix! That might be why it was donated.
The intro to the babies was one of my favorite thing ive watched on youtube in weeks. Im so happy to see you back making content, i adored watching you talk about the babies :)

Love how you styled your bangs today! Up early and ready to seize the day suits you, you look happy.
Yes for the adorable idea of a bird ASMR video. They're toooo cute 🥺
Getting them comfortable with humans is also great because if they get sick or injured it'll be alot easier to identify and also to treat them! 🥰
Strip the timber frame down to natural wood to get rid of the orange color! I think natural wood looks best
all these prints and wall hangings look like the makings of a magical collage wall!
Watch as she reads the birds gather closer to her ❤
The spring frost original hangs in the NSW art gallery. It was painted in Emu Plains - just up the road from where I grew up!

The baby chick was so cute, but a bit loud haha.The default pigeon is indeed very cute. I would call the pinguïn one: Pingu.
I had a bare metal oval frame too. I made a back backing and glued dried clematis blooms. And moss all along the bottom. So it's 3D in a way. Was a fun addition to my gallery wall.
Those hairthingies i got in black, they're so awesome!
Your hair looks so shiny and healthy!!! 🤗❤️
I'm literally here for all content 💛
Also babytail is such a cute name
16:57 add a picture for sure!! Either birdies or plants
I'm realizing, as you show the art, that you'll become that cool grandma with lots of hidden gems and heirlooms to pass on! It's definitely not me style but I love to see you enjoy life.

I think you should use the frame as a photo prop for the birds!
Hellooooo
Here in 29s amazing!
Excited to watch and see. Love the birbs
Adoring the pigeon content, they are so lovely 😭
I love all the name for the birds so keep them the same Alex and glad you been doing great.
Two ideas for the empty metal piece. 1. Either a bird bust so there is something 3d amongst other flat artwork or 2. A perch where u can place a real bird to take pictures of them amongst all the artwork.
Yes! Paint the matte blue! That will look so good!
I also saw that With Jean on Salvos 😆 looks great on you 😊
So happy to see you back on TH-cam so often! Xx
It’s so refreshing to hear and see your videos again! Penguin is so CUTE! Also can’t wait for part 2 of your 🍈🍈 job…
I have nearly exact frames to the brass one you showed from Italy. Mine have the glass and a red velvet backing. I love them!
"Default Pigeon" made me laugh so hard for some reason 😂
Use the empty frame around a light switch
Your pigeons are adorable!!!!
You could name the first one Pingu ( after the kids penguin animation show)
i am so here for pigeon content because they aren't super common as pets here in the states but i reallllly want one

I like Penguin for the black and white one. And Baby Fan is super cute. 😂
i love the pigeons so much 🥹
awww the pigeys are so cute! the two that are gandalf's children, merry and pippin?!
I woukd love to go to Australia just to bird watch , and vice versa , ontario canada has some amazing birds , your red breasted robin is so different from ours here
Definitely Gunther for the penguin looking pigeon
Here in Chile there's a cat food that has a black and white cat, and it's called Felix. I like Felix for a black and white pet 👀🖤
New obsession unlocked! Fantail Pigeons 😩🕊️💗
Penguin is an adorable name! Glad to see you doing well Alex!❤
Penguin's name is perfect and I love the bird content
We had a little city pigeon for a day or so and he was so soft I would love to have a pigeon for when we have more room. Definitely need a bird room though
Penguin should be named pingu. Look it up!
yayay alex content is best content
Your hair looks so healthy!🙌🏽
🐧 penguin should be called Pingu !
The twins can be Rose White and Rose Red like the fairytale!
Well, obviously the brittish grey bird is already named. Nugget. I think the penguin looks like a Milo. The twins are Prudence and Priscilla (or Millicent and Mildred). The fan-cy bird (pun intended) could be a Percy or Harold or Earl Grey, like the tea. He looks a bit noble.

I'm so glad to see you back looking healthy and doing well the pegion babies are super cute will Archie make any appearances in 30 days of thriftvember
How did u get your hair to have that nice lift to it in the back?! Looks so cute!
The one that you call penguin I think you should call him chilly willy like the old cartoon
Put the blue bird in the empty frame so it sticks out a little agent's the wall
So, where has Archie gone???
I honestly think Penguin is a cute name for the black and white Lahore! That or Tux(edo). You should call the first gray one Rocky with how hard he was filing out on you, lmao! So happy to see you embracing your true Circle of the Shepherd Druid form. It’s suits you wonderfully!
Edit: By the way you should call the Twins Speckles and Stripes from their markings!
i mean, the white twins clearly could be called Spots and Stripes.
The twins could be called Kirstee and Kaycee, the evil twins from Bratz Rock Angelz.
Penguin looks like an 1800s sophisticated English gentleman. If that makes sense
You could hang a plant in the pretty empty frame.
Anyone else sing the Jaws theme song as the camera slowly got closer to the pigeons while she was trying on the dress 😂
Bird #1 Peaty , #2 Coco, #3 Teddy #4 yes Baby tail. The twins. Twix. Left and Right.
Where is tweet tweet from yesterday.
You just bought a bunch of mirror tiles in the previous video, why not try to find a way to get one cut to fit that fancy frame? It would make a beautiful mirror!
I love baby tail, that is the best name.

Could you call the twins “Fred and George” after the Weasley twins in Harry Potter?
Since you said the lahore is a happy accident, name him Bob Ross.
Pengu, coco, tiny Tim for the British grey, Jon snow and whats the girl who learns to fight blind in game of thrones, cant remember the name 😂😂
I missed the fluffy grey, sebastian 😂
For the twins: Mottle and Barr?
You could call the twin pigeons Alexie and Alexa, after the twins from The Shining. Then y'all are Alex, Alex, and Alex.
Baby Tail and Penguin are cute names! Name the twins Twinkle and Star 👉🏻👈🏻
Call him Smudge! He looks like he was smudged w charcoal from the chimney across his back ;)
Name the Pinguin looking one after one of the Pinguins of Madagascar Skipper, Private, Kowalski or Rico depends on his charater
You should zoom the camera out or move it back some so we can actually see the outfits... maybe set up a tripod outdoors? If your house set up doesnt do. Like cant really see it....
Sharpay and Ryan for the twins
Pingu for the Lahore!!!!!!!! Noot noot 😂
What is the most British name???? Lol... Charles??? George?? Lol
That cow painting suits that wall colour so well!!
Oooo OOo OOo OOo.... you should put the bird wall thing in the bronze frame!!!!
I was thinking, when you are interested in hobby…you can talk for hours about that topic….the twins I was thinking Lucy and Linus from the cartoon strip Peanuts.
More birds!
