That's it! This is going to be my "winter" projects for gifts in the spring for Mom's day and such. Those are really beautiful!

Oh I like them both!! We have our community garage sales this weekend. I will be hunting down future totem items! Does anyone else see totem items all over the place? We have an ugly floral arrangement in the ladies room here at work. But! It has the most totemable (is that a word?) faux copper base! I am so tempted to take it home!!

Love your totems! And your kitty looks like he's heading straight for the first one! Funny how they always want to get into the act! Great job!

Oh I really like them, the first one especially.

OK I might just try one like that on a pole with blue bottles! I love your cat spazzin out also!

Love the pole idea & using the 1/2 marbles on 1st 1. They are both so pretty. I'm going to do something similar as I have lot of night visitors to knock ones on ground over. The amber bell topper really finishes it off. Jan

I love your totems and how you put em on poles. I'll have to remember that. What do you use for poles? Miss kitty sure semms like she likes em too.

Very pretty!!! I love the bell on the first one. And the way you topped off the second one too!!!

Is it just me or do these look like people? I just told countrygrl I thought hers did. Very nice. Love the kitty too.

Thanks girls for the nice compliments! The "poles" are actually from a "Pack & Play" crib that we had for our son. I salvaged all the rods that held it together! They're not very long ~ I think the longest is about 18". I only have 4 of them. Thought about using rebar...may do that in the future. Oh my, I have so many more to make & glass just calling to me!! LOL Trying to decide if I want to part with them & take a stab at selling some(?)

lamb, such pretty glassware for the sun to play off of.
And the kitty making a beeline for the totem is a riot.
Gotta love cats.
by the way, I use rebar too, but I also slip a piece of PVC over it... just to protect the glass from the iron. Plus you can get different size PVC, or even paint it.

Glad you're enjoying this addiction we seem to have here.
LOL

OMG - those are so pretty! I thought about them all afternoon. How do you glue the pieces together?

concreteprimroses, you aren't the only one seeing people in these totems! lol! They are both very different and pretty. I too like the idea of putting them on a rod in the ground. Then they can be seen over the flowers. One of these days I will have to try my hand at one of these, even if I have to give it away.

I take it they survived your cat's hijinx?

Btw, I like your little silver gazing ball. That is very pretty too!

Indalyne, we all mostly use GE Silcone II for doors and windows. You can find it in Walmart or Home Depot or any hardware place. Check the date on the tube tho, sometimes Walmart has 'old' stuff and it doesn't hold.

hugs, Karen

I have purchased several tubes of siliconeII for doors and windows and have never seen an expiration date. Where is it located?

These are beautiful totems. I especially like the blue one.

Beautiful totems, love all the sparkly glass in them!

Thanks again girls! I've had really good luck using E6000 glue. I find it in the craft section at Walmart. It's really stinky though. However, it goes away after a few days.

The little "gazing ball" used to be purple & now has faded to white. Can you guess what it is? It was a Martha S. Christmas ornament. Talk about heavy, I can't imagine hanging it on a tree! I just popped the top off, turned it upside down & stuck it on a stick. LOL I bought it on clearance a few years ago. It's cracked glass.
