Garden Art

Saturday, Aug. 6, 2011

What started out as a simple comment, "Hey Rox, we can so do this..." after seeing a piece of garden art at the Backwoods Fest last year has turned into somewhat of a small obsession.

These flowers made out of old plates that were stuck to a pole looked super cute and super easy. Thus started an obsession of thrifting and yard sales looking for the coolest yet cheapest plates. A year later -- after buying boxes of "cute" plates, going through many different adhesives, and cajoling Dave to help me engineer the suckers to stick to a pole -- I've succeeded in creating this:








Well this craft project requires way too much input from others to make it work, so I moved on to another type of garden art -- totems. 
It was apparently so inspirational that both of my neighbors created one too:
Bobbie's
Roxanne's
