I've decided on a glass garden totem in my favorite colours...blue and green. Photos to come...
Blue and green will be so pretty,...gotcha down!
Dragon fly using an old hand sprayer for the body, still " mulling " on what to use for the wings, BUT the wheels are turning!
I know you'll think of something, Nancy! I've got you down for it!
I'm finally going to create my fairy garden!
It's about time, right? haha It will be amazing if you do it, Natalie...
I am finally going to get my tall planters put up against the back fence area. They are made from light covers my brother gave me last year.
Sounds good, Ann,...can't wait to see..
I have decided to do an upcycling project using an old stained glass lamp from the eighties that has a couple cracks in it
Awesome, Betty! We love recycled light fixtures..
I'll be painting and "planting" an old ladderback chair. Can't wait:)
Sounds interesting and fun! You're on the list!
Great ideas, I've done most of these projects can't wait to see all of them..
Plan to add yet another container fairy garden to my ever growing collection. Plan to
use a lantern for this one.
OK, great! I'll put you down for this!
I'm making more glass plate flower art. I posted some earlier this Spring. Will be making 5 more & entering. Each one is unique, no 2 are the same.
OK,...wonderful, Mickey...can't wait to see!
Hi, Sue, I am going to make a clay bee skep with a form made out of found objects, and thinset tile mortar to hold the clay pieces together.
OK, Stephie,...I have you down for this!
