I LOVE YOUR PIG!!! And the plant inside him! It's one of my new favs! That urn is gonna be awesome!

Thank you so much!! So...what exactly IS that plant in the pig? The urn is not going to be a planter, but a fountain. The thing is SUCH a project, I may just keep it in my living room! (yeah probably not.) Thanks again!!

Kelly - your pig is just too cute, and I also love the plant!

OMG - I bet that urn was a challenge - due to the shape of it. It's gonna be great!

OHMYGOODNESS - the urn is fabulous! Love the design and colors. Darlin' pig - so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute. Good job mosaicing.

Hi Kelly. The first thought I had about the plant is that it is a variety of purslane. I did a search, and found this:

Purslane's stem is round and smooth, and it trails along the ground like a small vine. Young plants have a green stem, but, with maturity, stems take on reddish tints. Purslane has small, oblong, green leaves, which form clusters. The leaves resemble small wedges and, like the stem, are juicy.

I am only familiar with a solid green variety, "common" purslane, but yours may be another variety. Or it may not be purslane at all! Pretty, whatever it is!

I LOVE that urn! You did a great job on the mosaic!!

Wow, that Urn looks like a real challenge! It's going to be awesome.

Piggy is darn CUTE!, BTW that plant is a Sedum, it's the kamtschaticum 'Variegatum' - the variegated Kamtschatka Stonecrop. LOL just in case anyone really wanted to know! LOL

Cute piggie and beautiful urn...very pretty!!!!Good job!O.k ladies someone tell me what BTW means and ROFL?Most of the others I fugured out like LMAO LOL Annie

BTW - by the way. ROFL - rolling on the floor. When I first joined, the ROFLMA(orH)O was used. I was too prideful to ask, and it took me weeks to figure it out.

Kelly, if you are using Photobucket, to post mutiple pictures, you click and select all the pics you want to use, then go to the bottom of the page where it says "generate HTML and IMG code".

Another screen will show up with the generated HTML and I just highlight everything in the top box that says "HTML clickable thumbnails for Ebay, Livejournal, MySpace, etc. - recommended" then go to your post and paste it in the message area. When you go to the preview message, if you did it right, your pics should show up.

Love all the details in your urn and the piggie is cute also!

ROFL: rolling on floor laughing. MAO "my a$$ off".

Kelly,

Great job on both pig and urn. I also love the plant in the pig.

Chris

I believe the plant is a type of sedum. I have some of it growing next to my pond between some of the rocks.

Love the piglet too!!

Love the pig and the urn. I really do like little piggies in the garden. I have some of that bariegated sedum in my rock garden. I love how your piggy picks up on the pink in it. The urn is very cool,

I am so happy that everyone likes the pig, urn, and the plant!! It is the only plant that I didn't keep the tag for, naturally.
Crackpotannie- Glad you got the slang lesson! Now you should make up your own!
The urn was a challenge and I have a piece that keeps falling off! The whole thing just doesn't want to be grouted. The urn is relying on this piece to keep popping off and delaying the process. Too bad, today is the day.
Craftylady- thanks for the instructions on posting more than one pic at a time. I'll probably use it later today.
The urn was a challenge the pig was fun. I think I need some more purely fun stuff!

i love pigs and yours is so cute. that urn will be lovely..barb
