great link Debbie... lots of artistically tackled projects there... the alium purples are great... I bet I'd tire of them year round though... the bubbles look particularly in place over the pond.. and the gowns.. dancing about as a sprit being are so striking... lots of sprit [s ] there...

Aren't they great Gordon? Laying here looking out across the fields, I'm thinking a "ballroom" of ballerinas would look awesome dancing through the arboretum. Maybe older ballerinas with white gowns and young ballerinas in pink? I've got way too much time on my hands!

Tee,love the bakers rack,and those doors will come in handy ,for the perfect Idea...I too have a stash of parts Its a must when we love to add art to the Garden

Love the chicken wire sculptures,could give one more Ideas though...living sculptures...

Too many fun an exciting things to do.

Ill take photos as I go with the chairs,probly will power wash them today,get that started,need to pick up paint for them.


Raining today,need it to wake up those mushrooms... nothing here yet..will be early if the temps stay up

Love them all Debbie but really those purple spheres are fun!

Chicken wire balls, looks like they just shape and cut around a ball and fastened it to an electrical fence post. The bubbles look like something I am doing right now using 100mm (4 inch) plastic fillable clear ornaments. It has the hanger on the ball, all you'ld have to do is put it together with one side up and one side down and then do heavy wire to make the post maybe? not sure on that part.

I love those purple balls too - and it's such a simple idea!

Great thread!! I'm enjoying all the great ideas. I have an old security door out in back, wanted DH to get rid of it, but now I've changed my mind. I have a great rack for plants that I got at thrift store for around $14 and haven't decided where I'll put it. Would love it in the house, but have no room for it. It folds up too so for now I've got it leaning against the house with a plastic tarp over it. Would love to see those springs too

Nice, Pegi. I hope I can find some folding metal baker's racks as well. Very handy ... and easy to store.

I seem to have my share of broken stemware.. something about thinking they should be just washed in the dishwasher is silly...
something good to hang from the pottind bench are cutting rooters...
this one made it this far... now for some embelighments if I can locate any not already embelishing..
the cutting rooting glass wrapped with copper tubeing [ ice maker line ]

Also for the bed springs ---- put potted plants in the springs.

Tee, if you don't particularly wish to save the glass from the storm doors then put down some canvas painters tarp, lay the door down, put on goggles & leather gardening/work gloves, get your hammer & break the glass out. Tilt the door back up sans glass & gather the tarp & dispose of the glass. Repeat for the next door.

yikes... for my safety.. I'd prefer to take away the mullions.. bits that hold the glass in place.. and remove the glass intact.. I believe if you broke it out .. you'd have bits still stuck around the edges.. waiting to grab you .. all the years it would sit there as a trellis.. they are made to be removed for glass replacment.. or in this case just removal
there's always a chance to attack it with a hammer if you have trouble removing it..

Here is a link to some painted rain barrels. hmmm that would be a fun challenge here.

I submitted a tip to Trish for these a long, long time ago but did not have a photo to go with it. I wonder if these qualify as "public domain"?

OH MY GOSH are these adorable!!!!!! I have cans of many many sizes that will soon grace my balcony.
