What a tranquil, lovely spot you found to make home, dulcimerduo! Your totem is very pretty. I love how you incorporated the round pieces. I always think it is fun when people put a figurine underneath a bigger glass piece. Definitely gives the totems more character! Like the rest of the folks, I just love George! I'm glad he managed to fit in your Honda Civic! Only a Garden Junker would be so determined to fit something that size in a small car. he-he I can't wait to see pictures of your new and improved pond too! Here's a funny observation ... I was looking at the picture of your pond and I was wondering about the little gnome standing on the branch of the tree ... that was until I realized it was your DH pushing a wheelbarrow in the background! lol! Years ago, in one of my magazines, they had an article of how someone totally enclosed a mobile home to make it look like a cute cabin. It was located on a lake and they made a screened porch along the whole front of it. Looking at the finished enclosure, you would never know there was a mobile home under it! I could kick myself for not keeping the article. It looks like you have a similar idea! Please keep the pictures coming!

here is the link nice plants i like your plant pole pic

Hi again Thank you for the kind words. This one rock didn't turn out to bad. I find though that it isn't really my idea of tole painting. The leaves should have been done from the back to the front,and they should have been double loaded. But it was my third attempt at the thing and I just wanted it done. I gave it to a friend up the road for her birthday. I told her it was a stepping stone but she has it up against a tree so no one will step on it. All I do with the rocks is clean them with soap and water and vinager. They I use my spray sealer, and base coat. Then the fun and frustration begins. My hubby was the one who figured out how to do the pictures. It took him about an hour and a half. He said he was tired and that was why it took so long to figure it out. I told him it was because he didn't read the directions. Why do men have such a problem with directions?? haha The next pictures I'm going to post will be bad things I have done. That way everyone can have a good laugh and see what NOT to do. Well thanks again for the kind words. Sue
