This thread is to share all of the various garden art items you have...that you've bought, been given, found in bulk trash... Hilarious! EVERYONE can post here!

These are cement pillows made by my friend, Barb aka Fish_Knees aka Runs With Scissors. She's going to give me a tutorial soon!

My DGM gave me these for "entertaining." I'm now entertained every time I walk out the back door and see 'em. They're berry bowls. Who uses fancy berry bowls in the land of barbeque and brisket? I think they make better candle holders. Gotta love that E6000 glue! Apologies to Granny.

Sandi what a great idea! I'm not sure what "fancy berry bowls" are though? Are they glass, ceramic, etc. ? Confused

They're glass, waffled glass

The glass pebbles in the center were supposed to be the water in the fire pit "pond," but the nap's mermaid took up too much space.

Thanks Sandi! Now that I see what they are I'll have to keep my eyes open - thinking they might even work if you used them to look like bird's nests with blue eggs in them. Smiling

Great idea, but with mosquitoes always looking for a spot of water, I'd have to constantly remove any water.

Confused Blinking Now I am really confused.
I thought these were standing up right and facing forward, not upwards.

Mine are facing forward, no water in them. rcn48 suggested they could be done like birds' nests with eggs in them. I said it was a good idea for her, but not for me, because of mosquitoes. I have a diamond drill, but I don't need to drill them because they are facing forward and no water gets in them!

Well, I want the cactus because I left my favorite house in Tucson! I wonder if there's particular criteria that we have to meet before we can add a badge. Could you add Canada if you once went there to ski? Hilarious!
