Here are some new glass totems that I made the past couple months. What I don't sell this spring/summer will go into my own flower beds. I have others that I am still putting the final touches to. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

This orange one was a repair. The cattle got out and knocked it over and part of it broke so I repaired it. This other one is somewhat tilted. Sometimes the air gets trapped inside and causes them to lean after I walk away. These will stay in my yard.

I love making the blue and red ones but those colors are hard to come by.

These are solor light totems. The first one will have a rerod or bar pounded into the ground and inserted in to the bottle. The second one needs a heavy base added to the bottom to make it more stable.

This first one is another solar light.

This is a glass mushroom.

Thanks Vic and Carole. I will share pictures of my very last totems I made plus some of my glass flowers. I may put my glass flowers under another thread dedicated to glass flowers.

My cousin gave me this dish set that was in her family. I will be giving these few pieces to her for her flower beds. I plan to put clear beads pouring out of the tea pot into the cup. She could also put bird seed into the cup and creamer. Here are some of the glass flowers that I have made recently.

Here are some more of my glass sun catchers. I plan to sell these at farmer's markets and in my sisters yard along a busy road in my home town this summer. My sisters house sits at a 4-way stop sign on the outskirts of my small home town. Lots of traffic goes by during the summer. I sold there last year and had pretty good luck. This year I should have veggies to sell too.

Thanks Vic. It is really hard to find the colored glass that you can see through. I am done creating and gluing for now. It is getting almost time to be outside cleaning up my flower beds.
