Oh my goodness! This is marvelous, I’ve been collecting glass for years and never did anything with it. Now I can reduce my stash beautifully. Thank you!

Daphne,

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. I made my first one 14 years ago, and I still love it just as much as I did when I made it. It had a little mishap with a ladder. It took off the top layer, but I still have it displayed in my yard.

Have fun!!

What a fun idea, and I’ve been wanting some more yard art. These would be simple and pretty! Pinning!

Phyllis,

Be careful, these hobbies can be very addicting. Placing these pieces together is only half the fun. The real fun is hunting for the glass items at yard sales and thrift stores. That is the part that can become the real addiction.

Enjoy, and thank you for your sweet comment, I truly appreciate sharing what I lean with others.

Oh my goodness sakes alive! what a marvelous site! I’;m 76 and can’t do showes anymore so I’m on a hunt for things I can
do here at my home to enjoy and you have given me so many ideas as well as your other friends. I love the totems with small
figures inside of the larger bowls and vases and my idea is to make a pole with an angel inside one of the tall vases to use ans my gardian angel and also make one with a cat to use in a small garden especially for him or her with their own garden of cat nip, mints and other plants they aren’t allergic to so they can have their own special place. There are just so many ideas going through my head now it’s hard to decide which one I want to start with. Got to go to all the yard sales and thrift stores and build up my supply, my goodness will we all be busy from now on.
Thank you for sharing your ideas with all of us, so many want do that and they just don’t know how much they will be refunded when they share, thank you again and have fun creating with the blessing of a creative mind.
Phyllis
