I'm doing the same thing today, Song.
Great minds and all that...

Hi Sharon ... Oooo, those are all great pieces to use. For the Blue Garden???

Those are great pieces, have you got plates picked out yet?

I have enough pieces for the Blue Garden, the deck, the front porch and every garden...sheesh! Too much stuff in this house.

Not sure I'm going to use plates, though I do have some clear ones. I have a few mirrors I was thinking of incorporating.
We'll see.

Mirrors ... that's a nice idea. Looking forward to the pictures.


A blue totem outside in the light. This is not an "official" arrangement. Just idea shots.



This one can also be used as a vase inside or outside ... also as a centerpiece to hold flowers, canapes, finger sandwiches, chocolates, deserts, etc. It stands about 2 & 1/2 feet tall.

Sharon, be sure to show us what you make. Nosy & inquiring minds and all that!

Tee, I especially love the pottery one you just posted last. I like pottery so much. You are the second Tee I have ever met...the other is from Texas many, many years ago. It's a cute name.

The one I'm making now won't have a purpose except to be artistic.
Nothing like a bird feeder or birdbath, just something fun.

I'll have a picture in a little while.

Tee is part of my given name, Becky. Don't see that name too much, do you. I've only known one other person with the name ... a gal I went to college with at WKU. Sharon started calling me Song and I very much like that.

Fun and artistic always works for me. So much of my stuff ends up outside as yard and garden art. No particular purpose ... just fun and artistic (well, sometimes). Plus running out of room inside.

You are all going to love the August Challenge!

Here's the beginning of one:



Slowwwwwwww process.

Green is one of my favorite colors. You have a lot of lovely glass! Just luvin' the green!!!!!

watching....

The green one needs time to dry those little glass globs, so in the meantime, here's the start of one that I might eventually add to my Blue Garden. You can see it outside the window in the distance.

That is beautiful and I especially love the top piece, Sharon! Is it a decanter top?

It WAS a decanter top. Broke the decanter years ago. I have another that is clear that belonged on a huge jar that used to hold pennies. I never knew till now why I was saving those silly tops. Now we know.

I'm anxious to work more on the green one, but am looking for a good base for the blue.

I love decanter tops. Not sure why but I am very attracted to them.

I love the watery blues and greens together. That is one of my favorite combinations. Reminds me of a Monet watercolor. I luv watercolors. Really lovely. And the clear glass vase has flowing lines to it ... right in line with the watery colors. Yes, artisitic indeed.

Are they glued together? Do you leave them out in winter? I love the green ones too, but the blues are also gorgeous...

Mine are all glued. You can leave some of them out in the winter. Best not to leave the pottery ones out without some protection. I put mine under the carport or under trees for a little protection. Or cover them with plastic sheeting or a drop cloth, etc.

I've just started on these that I've shown, but they will be glued as well. The blue one is already glued, still working on the green
