There ya go Debbie - another idea for your shop. You can make & sell ATP shirts!!

plantladylin said:Your gardens are really nice Debbie! I Love the Lizard ... he would look great in mosaics and I love the rusty birdbath ... what color are you going to paint it?

Oh yes ... PLEASE tell us where we can get an ATP shirt!

After playing for a week with designs for the logo and banner I was lost without something to do this morning so decided to whip up a new t-shirt! My old shirt was faded anyway! I'm pretty sure Trish will have the ball rolling soon so everyone can have their own t-shirt and I'm hoping for different colors?

Lin, I haven't decided what color to paint the birdbath. It used to be just a plain bronze and I might just keep it simple but then again I might go for a faux copper look since it sits opposite the copper arbor I made.

LOVE the t-shirt

It "fits" pretty good but I think the neck is a little tight.

take you scissors and cut a slit in the neck to wear around home. I'd be choking with a neckband that high, but it sure is beautiful....

I'm like that too Charleen. I just can't handle turtlenecks in the winter either.

HEY! Why didn't I think of that?

That's it!! You are beautiful. A lot of mine are like that....
That is our Badge of honor there. Almost rate up there with "Larry the cable guy".....
He's a mess, my hubby likes him...

Debbie I absolutely love your sense of style! No matter what you decide to do with the birdbath it will look fabulous.

Awww, thank you. It's wonderful to get all this support, Rick thinks we've got "enough" garden art, what?? There's PLENTY of 'garden rooms' left here to decorate and I plan to have something in every one of them!

Forgot to post this guy yesterday. I never even knew this place existed until about four years ago...Harper's Statuary and Water Gardens http://www.harperslawnornament... . It's only an hour away and I try to get there at least once a year. I saw these "Easter Island" looking guys on my first visit and went back for one of their sales to pick him up!


He now sits in the island in the middle of our driveway and it's the first thing I see when I walk out the door. I was planning to try a moss milkshake on him but I might just end up trying for an aged look with paint? Right now he's laying in the garden because Rick knocked him over when he was planting Hostas around him.



Also saw this sea serpent at Harper's!!! If I had a large pond to landscape I think I'd go for it.



While looking for birdbath photos yesterday I found one I totally forgot about. I made this one winter out of clay pots and a plastic saucer. Unfortunately the pots cracked after the first winter so it got trashed.


I've even got garden art INSIDE! I bought these birds for the gardens but when redecorating our front entry decided to use them here and they never made it outside!



About the same time I received this as a Christmas gift from my son. It's supposed to be a bird feeder but it works great for keys, etc. by the front door!



I'll keep looking for more photos.

Oh how wonderful that you can bring your garden inside

Yeah but then I have to dust them!

I love the dragon and the plaque in front of it... Beautiful pictures, Debbie...

I love the bird bath, easy to copy! The Easter Island statue is great!!! If I only had an acre again.

Did you spray the pots with that gray speckle spray? I like that birdbath!

You know...you COULD get the serpent and place the colored glass around him.

Mosiac???

Char, I absolutely love them all! Did you use marbles on some of them? (BTW, charley is keeping watch over those philos and making sure the dragon doesn't eat them!)

I sure missed a lot, so I went back to the beginning and drooled over all the lovely garden art of Debbie's. A lot of work to keep everything looking so great, I'm too lazy for that.

I'm standing in line too for one of those shirts. OK, now if I can get going I have a lot to do. I bought a frog mold so I could have some great art like Charleen's. It is sitting on top of an old dresser in the garage. I'll get to it in time.

I need a Hobby Lobby store here. Have the perfect spot for one, not far from us is a large empty lot waiting for some good person to come along and build a craft supply store. It has been sitting naked for at least 12 years that I know of, so think Hobby Lobby should come to California.
