Faye that is a beautiful piece of garden art. I can see it sitting on a stand in one of my perennial borders. I love the use of glass and pieces of mirrors, it gives it and iridescent look which would pick up all the colors in the garden. Thank you for the tutorial. : ) Sunset zone 6 Sempervivum for Sale Sempervivum ~ Sedum ~ Containers \| Quote \| Post #152340 (1)

And mother was right! I say the same thing! I love your easy-to-follow instructions and although I am sure I won't make one myself (About the only thing I already have is a cutting board!) I want to tell you that the ball you made is beautiful!!! I won't make one, but I would be likely to buy one if it looked as pretty as yours!

Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. \| Quote \| Post #152614 (6)

That is one beautiful ball! Everyone would love to own one like that. Your insturctions are great, don't know if I'll try one, but if it looked like that I'd be so proud of myself. \| Quote \| Post #152950 (8)
