Mystery project finished !

19 years ago

( A week late though ) This was made out of a crystal light canister , rocks , beads , rods & glass. It's about 2 ft high and 4 ft. wide. Bad pic - but you can see it.

It's my SPIDER !!!!

    That is truly something!! I love it!

    Are the rods set right in so they can't move from the rock container or can they move around?

    It would look good as a focal point in a dappled shade garden where the sun would hit the glass every now and then.

    no that's unique! WOW! very cool!

    Very cool, I love it. What kind of rods did you use? Are they rigid, or is their movement with them ?

    How clever!!! I kinda have an idea such as this, but a tree with dangling leaves of glass. Who'da thought it would turn out like this!!! I like the way it bends like that!

    Wow, Toomuch! That is really cool! I'll bet its gorgeous when the sun hits it. Aren't you clever. See, this is what I'm talking about! If I don't check this forum several times a day, I'll miss something AWESOME!!

    That is so fun! Would also look great at the top of tipsy pots or even a topiary kind of thing. How creative are you?!

  • 19 years ago

    HA!! Nobody guessed a spider!
    Very neat. I'd love to see it dancing in the wind.

    I love this idea. Please let me know if there is movement in a breeze. What type of rods did you use? How are the glass pieces attached to the rods? I've been looking for an idea using pieces of glass that can move in a breeze, but I was thinking more of hanging glass by fishing line. I absolutely love this idea.

    Quite showy, creative and BEAUTIFUL. What kind of rods? OH YES - that would be a great topper for any kind of pedestal.

    That is awesome!!!!!!

    I made this out of some unknown type of rods - I think they are plastic coated steel or something. ( The original idea I saw online EONS ago - said she used those rods that suspended lowered ceilings. ) These rods can be bent - they stay in that shape but they bounce in the wind. I wire wrapped the glass & made a loop at the top to hang. At the end of the rods - I made a wire loop , put glue on it -then slid 3 beads over the wire . I just added one jump ring between the glass & the rod tip - the glass bounces and turns in the wind. Bottom pic is WIP .

    Oh I remember when you posted that picture and was wondering how you'd use it. Very well done - what a creative idea. I could imagine that on top of my turbine tower and how when the wind blows it, it would twirl the glass.

    Very creative and unique idea. I bet it looks great bouncing in the wind as it reflects light off the glass.

    OH I like that. I think the tipsy pot topper would be great. I bet it is beautiful when the sun hits it and it moves in the breeze.

    Very nice.
