Your mailbox man looks neat! I like him a lot better than just a plain mailbox to keep gloves/handtools in. I have to make one more like that than the boring one that I had planned (when I get back to the states, of course)

June, no mail boxes over there? You could start a whole new wave of yard art there! :>)

My mailbox man consists of all kinds of parts, from weighing scale tray to an old chicken waterer, plus....

No yard and, now that you mention it; I have not seen a mail box anywhere here. Not ever out in the country. We are moving next month and have requested that the realtor find us a place with either a yard or big balcony. Got a call from them that they have ?something? that we need to "jump on" tonight. I would like to see it first...I don't want to get stuck in a concrete canyon. We will find out more in a couple of hours..

Crossing fingers for you, June! I hope you find a piece of ground to work with; really hope you are in the countryside or something soon instead of in the big city.

Keep us posted...we may have to mail you a mailbox! Smiling

Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

Ok, laugh to your hearts content - I sure did Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

I call it my redneck wind chime Big Grin Thumbs up


Thumb of 2011-10-22/vic/50675d


So, when you're done laughing, Whistling think about this.....

If I used colored string, and painted each can a different bright primary color, it would actually be pretty cool, huh?

I started out using some wood from Hank's scrap bin to tie the strings to but then I decided sticks would look more authentic Thumbs up

I was going to hang it way out the in the woods as I was sure the clanging would be terrible but the sound is pretty groovy. Big Grin

I am Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing because early on, maybe 3 months ago, Whistling you said you weren't crafty. Blinking

You are a fibber! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

I have a huge sack of cans in my dining area waiting for new life. I think I will make a wind chime too. Hurray!

Y'all are SO KIND Lovey dubby Lovey dubby

Becky, any teeny tiny talent I "might" have, is a direct result of all the talented people I hang out with here on Garden Art. Thumbs up

This is a standing ovation to all of you talented, artistic folks Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Becky, I just know if you do the can wind chime that each can will have beautiful birds or flowers or ??? painted on them. See? I have the ideas - just not the blessings to do it Big Grin

Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon I can't imagine anything that's better The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of . . .Groovin' . . . down a crowded avenue Doin' anything we like to do
There's always lots of things that we can see We can be anyone we want to be And all those happy people we could meet just . . .
Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon

Guess what I got stuck in my head now.

Groovy chimes, they're farout man.
Save the planet, it's the only one with chocolate.
