AWESOME!

They are beautiful works of art. Very clever hanging them from shepherds' hooks. The colors are great! TYFS Jlily

Those are really pretty! I just love glass and rust in the garden.

Beautiful rich colors! I love them.

Gorgeous!I hope you don't mind if I borrow your idea.

Beautiful.!!! Reminder to self. >Keep an eye open for globes when @ GW fashions: I have two shepards hooks that correct don't have anything hanging from them, but will as soon as I find me a couple glodes:

What did you use on the top for hanging...the metal part?

Wow! Ever so lovely!!!

You have quite the selection there...love them! Wish they were more accessible in my area...I love the look.

Found me two light globes this weekend at GW Fashions: They will soon be hanging from shepard hooks in the garden as soon as I figure out how to hang them. I think i'll cut a round circle from treaded wood to fit in the underside of the globe and then drill a small center hole to support a wire for hanging, I think that should work.

Beautiful! I think she used "hanging lamp" hardware for the hangers on top! Really "warms- up that little area with all the lovely glass colors!:" Jan

You may be able to use a large flat metal washer on the inside run a bolt through then another washer on top with a nut, connect some wire to the washer and nut assembly to hang it from. Maybe add some silicon caulk in there to cushion against the glass.

I have a huge one that was the center section of a tall table lamp, the lamp was ugly but the parts are pretty so I plan to use the deep garnet color glass section in a totem. I am liking the Shepard hook ideas though. very good looking.

Battery operated 10 string Christmas Lights would look great in these at night. Or you could use heavy tape and put in a small flashlight or tea light (battery)

Lovely use of coloured glass in the garden! :) You've inspired me with yet another idea! :)

Love your pretty, colorful corner! Old lamp parts are a great source of stuff for the junk garden aren't they.

I'm lovin' hoserhodo's idea of putting lights in them! I've found sometimes you can use a solar light inside if you can get the sensor to stick up through the hole enough to get sunlight to charge.

Great ideas, tfs :)

So pretty. I saw a beautiful blue globe at a rummage sale last week. Didnt have enough cash with me.. Waahh! But i did get a cool old watering can!

Those are great! Gonna have to watch at the resale shop so I can try that!

LOVE THIS IDEA....I REMEMBER HAVING A LAMP THAT HAD A GLOBE LIKE THAT.....LOVE ALL YOUR CREATIVE IDEAS.

Beautiful! I wish I could find some like that around here!

So sorry it's taken me a bit to get back in here, but I really appreciate all the kind comments on my glass globes. Yes, I just used hanging lamp hardware on them from other thrifted lamps, but of course you can purchase that hardware new if you wish. Glad you like them!

These are amazing! Going to look for some of these. Great idea :)

I recently bought something similar for a friend; a glass globe that looked like a fisherman's float, with a solar light inside, and a windchime hanging underneath. Wonder what else you could hang underneath?

And what's GW Fashions???

GW...I was thinking GardenWeb, but maybe GoodWill?

probably Goodwill....and I think the idea is great....love the look

this is an awesome idea. it will give me all winter to find some. thanks for posting

Hi there .. I was on this site many years ago & posted all the time. Wanting to get back into garden junk. Your globes are beautiful. I had a few at our other house. If I can find the pics I"ll try to post them later.
Have a good day!

Love the globes!
