Love the red bottles and the grapevine! Tell me what WIP means?

I love the addition of the grapevines!
Marlene, wip is "work in progress"

susieroses...love the grapevine look on your BT...gives it volume! And, whoppee, the cannas and Hubs patio will make it "picture perfect!" Love it...love it! Great work! Jeanne S.

Love the added grapevine. It adds "life" to the dead branch. And the color from the bottles gives her her sparkle! I like the way you are dressing up her surroundings too. DH did a great job.

Oh I like that.

I have found copper wire online before.
You might try googling it.

Mary

For copper wire, check Lowe's,and Home Depot, in the electrical dept. You can buy it by the foot, or on a roll.
Other copper (flexible tubing) comes in a kit for refrigeration, if you need that.

Oh great idea hanging the bottles,
red bottles really set it off.
My DH says he has another dead tree for
me to use,

if you don't mind I am going to copy your idea
of hanging the bottles!

Is this the side your rose garden will be?

Sylvia

That is a beautiful idea and settin for it..love the red, should get those red vases I saw at the GW, but a bit pricy..those who make these with bottles up....be sure to dump out the water after a rain...here at my place they would be full from dirt and sand that blow often.

Sylvia, The rose arbor is behind the photographer (me). lol But there will be a spouting water, rock pond thingy between this Cannas corner/Bottle tree and the "Gazarbor" (rose boxes and support structure). Everything just seems to take us so long because I am the assistant and Hubs is the laborer(unlike childbirth huh?). I am also going to design some mosaic step stones as soon as I study the process enough. You are so sweet for asking. susie

It looks great. The grapevine does add a nice touch to it.
Deb

i love the grapevine. it really fills in the space between the bottles. good job.

Love how it's taking it's own personality, and the red looks really good too. The cannas will be a great backdrop to the pretty red tree. What color do they bloom? I have some yellow ones, and some in fuschia. They are so carefree and I love that about them. The foilage is so nice too.

I say:
Welp, that sorta equalizes things a bit, eh? LOL

*shrug* ~tenderlee :-)

Oh I love it that you say "thingy" I always say that when I can't remember a name for something or can't describe what I want done, LOL

Nothing like equal LABOR, LOL

Sylvia

VERY ARTISTIC! I LOVE IT! Bear Hugs! Kirk

I'm glad you couldn't find the copper wire, LOL. That grapevine is just wonderful on it! Love that idea! And those red bottles really stand out. I hope you find more for your tree. I never see any here.

You and Hubs do good work.

The cannas behind the tree will be RED. Thanks guys!!!!

Susie, love the way your bottles hang & the grapevine wrapped around the tree gives it ummpphh. Nice corner addition.

I LOVE those red bottles! So unusual! And I like how you have them hanging too. I'd probably cork mine to keep the water and accompanying mosquitoes out. Although they could be nice wasp catchers. The grapevine does add another dimension to the tree ... makes it look kind of wispy. The copper would be pretty but the grapevine looks great too!

Your DH did a nice job on the bricked patio too!

Luna, When the wind gusts and blows over the open bottles they have a soft ghostly howl. So if they get rained in I can tip them over empty them. Take a water bottle and drink part of the water and then blow across the top of the bottle. That is what these are like. eerryy!

Thanks for posting! Very pretty and such a good idea - very inspirational! I've always wanted a bottle tree but they seemed like a lot of work. This is doable for me! Gotta start collecting colored bottles now.
