patriotic theme

17 years ago

This mirror came off a old medicine cabinet my nephew dug out of a dumpster.He figured I would do something with it so I bought some rocks from walmart and silicon them on.The sconces

on the wall were also dumpster material.They were originally brown but I spray painted them blue and red.The flag I made from poured cement was an old jello mold that you used to get in stores free when you bought jello.I finished this around July so it kinda went with the theme:){{gwi:181659}}

Did you put a hanging wire in the cement when making the flag? Looks nice on the dark fence. Very patriotic! Jan

Cool vignette! Those sconces would make great teacup holders. You got the little wheels turning in my head for my tiny balcony with no floor space... I see sconces like that all the time in thrift stores. Like the Jello mold flag and your repurposing of the mirror!
