I’m grateful for you sharing on how to make the dish flowers and I’m learning how to make them, and other up-cycled things for the garden. Your site has been so helpful in getting my creative juices flowing! Have decided to drill my plates. Some people in AK are catching on to re-purposed garden art and love it, but still for many others it’s “new” and they’ve not seen it before and are too afraid of them breaking to buy them. Also, not as many people have the pretty backyard gardens as down in the states. Folks don’t wanna work too hard on developing gardens because our summer season is so short they want to do other things. Its the time & effort factor. But this type of art goes right along with trends of vintage and “junking” and whimsical. People up here like it—but don’t know how to use it to get the effect. I hear them say all the time: “I just don’t know where I would put it.”
