re -visiting my crooked crazy pots!

Memorial flower fountain

I have several fountains but this one is very special..in tribute to some of my past feline and canine friends I designed this fountain. At the base are the very special rocks with their names engraved and above is the flowers that pay tribute to the happier times and delightful memories.. I used just a very good potting soil and placed some small pebbles in the bottom to help drainage. On the top of the fountain where the water would normally run I filled with clear glass pebbles. It is important to carefully monitor for watering as with a shallow base it can dry out..Happy gardening!

Ok here is one of my favs and it is also a fav of the tiny birds in my northcoast garden, the main base is a pretty plate I found at the Discovery Cancer shop..I cemented on a mirror coaster I found at Ross's..then I picked up a martini glass at the dollar store..doubleboiled some wax down and that was poured into the glass...once it cooled I turned it upside down and salted it..the little sheep was an ornament I found in my closet..now to attach..I had a common vase that I turned upside down and glued with epoxy to the bottom of the plate..very simple to get a dowl or broomstick for that matter and balance on it...if you want it solid..stuff the vase with newspaper so it is where you want it and then do the expoxy..whahh lah Margarita birdbath! but,,gently fill with water DON'T spray it with a jet of water as you can dislodge your decorations.. the sky is the limit! oh almost forgot..the shaker I found on sale at Ross's..got two shakers for 3 bucks!

Crooked crazy pots!

 I used a flag stand I found at Michaels and arranged the pots throught the stands..but first I spray painted the pots with a can of bronze paint I bought at the hardware store; You need to weight the pots down with gravel to gets the pots to remain in place..Can't wait until the lobelia and petunia bloom!!
