Hi,
I posted this in the Containers Forum and Karen (PlantManager) suggested I post here as well.

I just finished these a little bit ago (haven't distressed them yet). They are a variation on French pots. I have several succulents coming this week that will fill a couple of them; the rest will wait for something that begs to live in them.
Each pot has two images - one on each side, so there are actually only 4 pots, not 8.
The Bluebirds are out of focus, (as is the photo I see); I was experimenting to see if it might make the pot look even more worn; the blue is so bright I was concerned it might not look old when it's done. We'll see how it does after distressing it.

I'd love to try that sometime. It's been years since I've done anything like this, but I love them! Can't wait to see them finished!

@diggindirt
Love the pots. Get that you want them to look old but I love that blue regardless.

Thank You! I'm just starting out and right now I'm working on a larger similar painting. I have a lame blog mostly just so I can keep a record though one day I would like to get a more professional page.

Karen I went to your store. I love what you create with sea glass Green Grin!

I added these glass flowers to my garden fence yesterday. I have made tons of the glass flowers and sun catchers during the past 2 winters. It got addicting. I also made tons of glass totems of which many are located throughout my flower beds.

Thanks Karen and Vicki. I must have at least 50 of them on hand. I will try to sell them in the spring when I am also selling some flowers along the road in my sisters lawn in my home town. The road that goes by her house is a very busy highway. The ones I don't sell will be getting put in my yard. Same goes for the totems that I have on hand. My website is www.gardenglassgems.com. Some of these things are in my yard, have been sold, or are still wrapped up and being stored. Not sure if I will make any this winter or not. I know I have a lot of glass stuff on hand, that's for sure.
