Pics, finally

18 years ago

Hi, ya'll. Happy Spring!!!I finally got a digital camera for Valentine's Day (red, of course)! Hope this link to my album works. The last couple of pics are one of my most prized TS finds. Someone (I picture a sweet little old lady) made a birdhouse from a milk carton. She put 2 tiles for the roof and then covered it with costume jewelry and aquarium gravel. I paid a dollar for it! I just wanted to thank all of you for showing me such a wonderful hobby. I love to make totems, gazing balls, and mushrooms. They are "my flowers that will not die". I love the way the sun shines on them! I just wanted to thank all of you for showing me this wonderful hobby. I'm truly addicted! I'm not to sure how to post links so I hope this works. This is the first pic of my album "My Garden Junk". The big ole' barrel thingy was something we found and I'm not to sure what to do with it yet. A lighthouse maybe???

Love all of you creative people!!!

    I could be just like your dog and spend a lot of time exploring your garden close up. I have made a few small garden totems this year, but hadnt thought of adding the glass marbles to the "mushroom tops". I do love my simple little mushrooms and plan to use mine around the new poured patio. (maybe as luminaries) Thanks for sharing and more ideas for all my glass.

    Wow, lots of eye candy there! I love everything hanging on your fence, and what you did with the grill(and the doggie under it), and the stepping stones. Everything looks great!

    Jeanette, I just took another look. And am amazed even more! One page one the second to last photo you have a pink totem. Sure would love to see a close up of that one. There is soo much to see.. I could spend hours in your yard. Thanks again for leting us into your yard.

  • 18 years ago

    OMG, what an awesome yard, I love it. I wish I had just one of those metal suns you have on your fence. I've been wanting one of those suns for a long time now, that and a moon to go with it. Seeing your fence has given me the inspiration to go out and get them this year, it's about time. I love all the totems and other glass marbled displays you have too. This is such a great garden and you did a wonderful job of creating all of it.

    Thanks ya'll for all the great comments! The sunflower thing is whats left of a feeder I bought about 10 years ago. Need to repair it. My grill- we got a new one so... can't throw anything away so I just made it into a ??? yard art??? My doggie wanted in the pic so... My pink totem and lots of the others were made with TS finds plus stuff I had around the house. When I found this forum, I started looking around my house and... Well, as you can see... My mother was the creative one. She did ceramics. The pic with the big pinkish rock is her Fairy Garden that I made in her memory. She loved angels, fairies, flowers, and rocks. I found a place that made plaques on line and took off. My apple tree is looking sad but I'm keeping it until it passes away to "Tree Heaven". We have so few trees because of the danged 'ole power lines that run right in the middle of my backyard. I don't plant many flowers in my backyard because it's very hard to keep the grass out. That's why I didn't plant against the wood fence. I get the color from 'shrooms, balls, and totems. I have a lot of container plants i.e. roses even tomatoes and peppers. We also have a raised vegetable bed in the summer. Thanks again ya'll. I get so much pleasure from my colorful glass and pottery garden. Love you all!

    Didn't know how to post 2 links so.. here's a close up of the pink totem. Again, just stuff I had around the house. The little top knot needs repairing. It's simple the top of some salt shakers I had with small flat marbles glued on.

    WOW and double WOW. Just "ditto" me on everything that has been said already. I love it and am thrilled you got that camera!!!

    hugs, Karen

    Thanks for the close up of the pink totem. I love it! I have been working on a pink one for awhile. Pink glass is hard to come by. Mosaics and totems are my to most fav things!!

  • 18 years ago

    You have some wonderful "junk" there! I love some of your gazing balls. Especially the one with the flowers and the one with the squiggle thingys. As for that pink totem ... I recognize the pink lampshade from a Party Lite candle holder on top there. I have one just like it!

    I really like your little bottle trees. What are the branches made of? And did you make them yourself?

  • 18 years ago

    wholy cow!!!!! when do you sleep? Just fantastic. "B"

  • 18 years ago

    I can't say anything that hasn't already been said!!! How impressive!!! Gorgeous! You have certainly jumped into the garden junk in a big beautiful way.

  • 18 years ago

    I love the piece in picture 25-the mosaic hanging piece. What was that made of?

  • 18 years ago

    Hey, all. Bought bottle trees in Columbus, MS in a little antique store by Wal-Mart. Some local man makes these. There's 1 more I plan on getting this weekend. My little hanging thing on my deck was a TS find. It's supposed to hold a votive candle and I "marblized" it (flat marbles). I have to have pairs of everything so I'm trying to find another one. DH says if he or pets sit still long enough, I'll marblize them! LOL

    WOW Jeanette, You sure have been very, very, very, busy!!! I just love it all. Your fence looks awesome with all the sun faces on them. Great job!!! Tell Dh and the pets they better not sit long!!!
