Several months ago I mentioned garden sculptures and canvas floorcloths. You've probably been wondering what happened to those two great ideas! Well, here is the first of the sculptures for my garden made from old lamp bases, a vase, and a bowl. It's placed in the dahlia bed and will soon just be peaking out from behind the blooms. We are gathering the makings for some more, but I've been busy painting and pulling weeds. I must say it sure comes in handy to have as my partner a retired engineer/orthodontist because my way of gluing these objects together wouldn't have lasted long. I've got all the materials to make the floorcloths and have started on two...it's just not coming together in the way I hoped. ..but it will. I have lots of places in mind to put them so it will happen.
