17 years ago

I finally took the plunge and have completed my first totem and have just grouting to add to my bowling ball.

    Oooooooooooo! I love that totem. The little bird on top is perfect. The BB is great too. Can't wait to see it grouted and in the garden!

    Great job on both! Love the pink vase and bird on your totem! And the GB is wonderful...I love the river rock as the covering...might have to try one like that myself. What color grout are you planning to use?

    Ohhhh, that totem is one of the most beautiful I've seen done on here...colored piece in among the clear crystal...I love it...and the bird really tops it off! Great work!
    The bb is great also...someone else did one with polished stones & grouted & it was very earthy lookin'! Thanks for sharing! Jeanne S.

    What a pretty Valentine's Day totem! The red/pink vase and it being so romantically pretty made me think of that right away. I think the bowling balls with the river rocks are always a cool addition to the garden. I think we have one in the inspiration album that has moss between the stones. Looks very cool. Make sure you show us pictures of them once you get them in the garden!

    Beautiful!! The totem is really lovely with the different colors & shapes! I'm keeping it in mind for when I do 1. the BB is perfect!! I bought all the stones to do 1 some time ago,I love the polished stone look better than anything else, well, loved the beautiful hand painted flowers on some but I'm not that good at painting. This is doable!!! Jan

    You did a really good plunge! Way to go!
    I love bird toppers for totems and your's is really pretty.
    I've GOT to try a bowling ball one of these days.

    Your totem is so pretty. Pebble BB is looking good too.

    I like your totem. That little bit of color with the clear is the perfect stand for the bird on top.

    That is a beautiful totem! Love the bird and the colors on it. I have always wanted to do the rock BB, can't wait to see yours finished. Someone on here done one with the green moss instead of grout, it is very pretty, too. Be careful, I hear those totems and BB's should come with a warning-"CRAFTERS BEWARE OF ADDICTION"!!

    Addiction?
    Who has any addictions?
    I went back to see if the red ball was still there?
    Nope!
    Gone!!
    BOOHOO!

    Love the totem ! Very pretty.I agree with everyone else,that the color is wonderful and the bird is cute.Is the bird a candle holder ? I haven't done a totem yet but hope to soon.Thanks for the inspiration.

    Sweet totem...love the color...love the little bird!!

    I can hardly wait to see the BB grouted! I think I want to do one of those...I need one next to my in-ground fountain!

    Nice job!

    Remember someone here grouted their rock BB with moss. For those of us who are grout challenged the moss is a great alternative. I might try it soon.

    A beautiful totem :D And the rocks on the bowling ball are so pretty. I've been bleaching the grouted things in my yard, but I think if I had one like that, I'd do that yogurt thing to make green stuff grow on it, lol!

    Love the natural look of the stones!
    Those lil birds are so sweet when people put them on totems
    Great job

  • 17 years ago

    Firsts??? Looks pro to me!!!

    They're both wonderful!! I really like the stones on the BB. When do we get to see it grouted... or will you 'moss' it?
