Neighbor was throwing out this bird bath they had.....claimed the pump wouldn't work......so I took it off their hands......Had some leftover tubing from our own pond & we got a new pump & liner for our pond, so the old pump went to good use for the blood bath. Added red food coloring to the water....

Plans are to glue mini skulls around the edge of the basin and attach 1 larger foam skull to hide the pump. Then I'll seal the cracks with silicone & spray paint the whole thing with Grey crackle paint....Looks cool so far!

I need to get some hydraulic cement to parge the cracks as it loses water....it's going to be awesome! Will post up when done....

Update.....got some hydraulic cement ($10) & parged the basin....a bit of it cracked, so will parge it again and we have a bit of a leak in the top portion so will patch that. As of this pic, it's not leaking at all now nor losing water.....
