OOOOOH! Wow! I KNEW I wanted to see it! It's just gorgeous. I know I've seen the idea posted here before to put the glass on glass, but it didn't really click in this old brain of mine! NOW, I've got questions! Did you use the GE Silicone II for the glue? If so, did you completely cover the back of the stained glass or just put a dab of it on? (I'm thinking you'd see it if it were just a dab, but if it were completely covering the back of the stained glass, it would all look the same so you wouldn't notice there was adhesive between the stained glass and the glass surface. Also, what do you use for grout? Is it a special grout used for glass or do you just use the grout you use for mosaic projects...and if so, is it sanded grout? I REALLY want to try and make something like this...it's sooooo very pretty! OH...and what kind of drill did you use to drill through the glass? I use a ceramic bit for dishes, but I don't know that it would go cleanly through glass without splinters around the edge. Thanks for the info...and for sharing your birdies!!!

What a great post! Everything from sheer beauty to the funniest of photos. I love Jeri's calm and peaceful cemetery. Joe's photos are exceptional. I can get lost in the fourth one of water reflections. Florence, your water colours are charming. How lucky you are to have such a talent. I particularly love the one of the vase of tulips on a windowsill. Ingrid, what beautiful images. I love the back lit garden scene in the fourth photo. Hoovb, I love it when you are being naughty! Sherry, One thing I have seen occasionally here in Crete that looks good in people's porches or covered terraces. They put up a few shelves on the wall, and then put a frame all round them. On the shelves they place small pots of succulents and other small plants. It becomes a picture of real plants, they look very charming. Failing that, you could use your picture of Sean in an orange nappy and hoovb's gnomes. Daisy

This is a really fun thread. I like to see what everyone has in their garden and how thoughtful about art and creative you all are. I often think I'm going to "make" some garden art but then never get around to it. I don't decorate the garden with a whole lot of art. I have a few decorative stakes and then a few glazed birdbaths and some copper sprinklers that I use more for decoration than watering. My mom has a very cute piece of garden art. The story behind it is that we were at Hever Castle in England and they were selling all kinds of cement statues. We fell in love with so many of them. My mom couldn't part with this guy. Hever Castle was down a hill so we had to hike back up the hill, carry him on the rest of our tour and then carry him home on the plane. He weighed between 30-35 pounds so it was like carrying a little person around. He was well worth it though!
