alliumhead said:Hi, Everyone ~

"Eva, you have me going on the hanging shoe rack idea." -- Good! Can't wait to see your creative take on this, Audrey. Photos of your process, please Smiling .

"Here's a pic of the "exercise ball" planter . . . really large, a good two feet across!" -- DomehomeDee, your ball planter is great! Did you make a flat bottom? How many coats of your cement mix did you apply? Any idea how much it weighs? The best use of an exercise ball EVER Smiling .

You know, you can also make large garden spheres by draping cement-dipped fabric squares over an exercise ball. Slightly overlap the fabric squares.

Or a hanging planter by draping a cement-dipped fabric square over a smaller ball.

DomehomeDee, hope you'll share your flowers with us all. What a lovely idea!

Hope you all have a pleasant day.


The garden balls are great. Do you have any photos of them finished? Did you leave them rough/unpainted?
